I honestly don't know. However, our experience has been that the legal requirement to reunite kids with parents resulted in a child being kept in foster homes for years as the state gave more and more chances and leniency to parents who were not ever going to get better (and whose family repeatedly told the state they would not get better). So, having more laws that enforce the "family" rule, I believe hurts kids. Sometimes families are not better...blood does not always mean better.
