It’s All Relative: Supporting Kinship ConnectionsBy: Taffy Compain , National Foster Care Specialist, Children’s Bureau Summary:
When a child can no longer remain in the care of a parent, placement with a relative or family friend—referred to as kinship care —is the preferred option.
One of the greatest gifts a parent or guardian can give a child is a stable and loving home environment. During National Foster Care Month , we recognize the life-changing contribution that foster, relative and kinship caregivers make when they provide a supportive home for the thousands of children and youth who enter out-of-home care every year. |
