What is kinship care?
Kinship care is the full-time protecting and nurturing of children by grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, older siblings, non-related extended family members, and anyone to whom children and parents assign a family relationship. If you have opened your home to a child after family members or friends have become unable or unavailable to care for them, then you are a kinship caregiver.
