Part 1 of this bibliography includes peer reviewed articles published since 2000. Prior to the twenty-first century there were only a few researchers interested in the involvement of parents with disabilities in the child welfare system, but there is now considerable international research interest in this issue. This bibliography includes references for 134 peer reviewed articles that have been published since 2000, including 63 that have been published between 2015-2021.
