Guide
to Future Care and Custody Planning for Children with Recommendations
for State Legislation, Abandoned Infants Assistance Resource
Center, Fall 2005. (150 pages)
This monograph explores a number of different approaches to
planning, ranging from private documentation to the more public
judicial processes. These include such traditional tools as
foster care, testamentary guardianships, powers of attorney,
custody and guardianship procedures and adoption. Innovative
tools encompass standby guardianship, standby adoption, joint
guardianship, short-term guardianship or short-term transfer
of custody, and voluntary foster care. Each tool presents potential
positive outcomes and pitfalls, all of which are detailed within
the chapter discussions and put into practice through case study
examples. Also available at: http://aia.berkeley.edu/publications/monographs/fccp_monograph.html |

evaluations to policy development and program planning for drug
and HIV/AIDS affected infants and children vulnerable for abandonment
and their families. In the process, the reader will become familiar
