Protecting Adopted Children Act This bill expands the requirements that states must meet in order to receive adoption and legal guardianship incentive payments. Specifically, states must establish minimum training requirements for prospective adoptive parents and guardians.

Those services must address the specific mental health needs of adopted children, children to be adopted, and their families.
