US: Military Families: Additional DOD Actions Could Better Support Military Foster and Adoptive Families
U. S. Government Accountability Office – August 19, 2021
The Department of Defense offers programs and services that can help active-duty servicemembers who foster or adopt a child. But, most military foster and adoptive families aren’t aware of all of the help they can get from DOD. In addition, key parts of DOD’s guidance are inconsistent with regulations on enrolling foster children in the military benefits system. Enrollment personnel’s lack of experience with foster and pre-adoptive cases also may limit access to these services. As a result, some families may be missing out on services they are eligible for.
