foster care drift

foster-care drift. The phenomenon that occurs when children placed in foster care remain in that system, in legal limbo, for too many years of their developmental life before they are reunited with their parents or freed for adoption and placed in permanent homes. • The Adoption and Safe Families Act was passed in 1997 to help rectify this problem. See ADOPTION AND SAFE FAMILIES ACT.
