Fostering, Adoption, Kinship Care? What’s the difference?
Kinship Care
Kinship care is the temporary placement of a child with a family member or someone close to the family. The ultimate goal of kinship care is for the child to reunify with their birth family.
Fostering
Fostering is the temporary placement of a child in your care after their removal from an unfit living environment. The ultimate goal of foster care is reunification with their birth family.
Adoption
Adoption is the permanent placement of a child in your care. You become the legal guardian of the child, and the birth family’s involvement in the child’s life may vary from case to case.
