Abstract
The Child Welfare Group was contacted by the Iowa Department of Human Services, Child Welfare Division following the deaths of two children who had been placed in adoption through the department. These youth, both girls in their teens, were in finalized, subsidized adoptive placements in separate homes. Both were home schooled and both died of starvation. These two incidents, happening within a few months of each other, caused child welfare and state leaders to question what, if any, role policies and practices in the agency may have played.
