Many challenges face kinship families in the formal child welfare system.
Others do not always understand the unique circumstances that require relatives to take on the responsibility of caring for a kin s child. Relatives would benefit from having a collective voice to express these concerns and seek positive solutions. This roundtable provides a forum for discussion on the possible development of a National Kinship Care Association. We welcome your presence and input. In this forum, caregivers, birth parents, and children share what kinship care means to them.
