When a child enters the child welfare system for their own safety and well-being, the law requires that preference be given to placing that child with a relative.
Beyond that, the first goal of the child welfare system is reunification; if that is not possible, the next goal is to ensure the child has a permanent and stable home. This webinar unraveled various permanency options including adoption, guardianship, or placement with a fit and willing relative. We also heard directly from kinship families who have made these decisions and are willing to share their stories.
