In June 2010, Governor Paterson signed a new law, Chapter 113, which amended New York's Social Service Law, sections 384-b and 409-e. These sections are part of what is commonly known as the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA). This fact sheet outlines the major changes to the law and what they mean for parents who are incarcerated or in residential drug treatment and have at least one child in foster care.
