Many children are fortunate to be cared for by kinship caregivers when their own parents are unable or unavailable to care for them. Kinship caregivers may be relatives, such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, even older siblings. Kinship caregivers may also be close family friends, neighbors, coaches, Sunday school teachers, etc. Many individuals step up to provide temporary and sometimes permanent care, raising "extended family children". It is our goal to ensure all kin caregivers are directed toward, and able to access available and needed supports.
