Karla,
I am enriched. Although, as child protection becomes a primary global agenda, various agencies have taken the lead role of sensitizing the public on the essence of looking after children's welfare and influencing the relevant government authorities to do the same. The Children's Bureau (CB) is one of such agencies that concentrate on the improvement of the lives of children and their families via programs capable of curbing child abuse and neglect (CB, 2020). CB's mission also entails increasing the number of adoptions and fostering child care. CB is primarily guided by the principle of partnering with Federal, state, local, and tribal agencies with a common objective of improving the overall health and well-being of children and families in the country(CB, 2020).

Jennifer,
In addition, the principles and policies of the Children's Bureau align with the philosophical tenets developed by the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) 1997. ASFA was enacted in the year 1997 in attempts to respond to the concerns that several children remained in foster care for prolonged periods and went through serial placements. Through its clarification of reasonable efforts aimed at emphasizing children's safety as a paramount concern, ASFA aligns with CB's current initiatives and issues (Child and Family Services Reviews, 2020). Currently, the Children's Bureau engages in events and initiatives aimed at providing for the safety and long-term well-being of children and their families. Therefore, as suggested by ASFA, CB has identified children's safety as its core objective. Indeed, the agency's schedule ever includes different programs and activities that enhance the safety of children and the stability of their families.
