Kinship care refers to the day-to-day care and nurturing of children by relatives or others described as family by a child’s immediate family members for children who are in need of protection. It can include an approved family member, godparent, stepparent, familiar friend, or community member who has a blood or existing relationship with a child or youth in care.

 

Kinship options are always explored for children who are in need of protection prior to having a child placed in foster care or a group home. If you are interested in becoming a foster, kinship, or kontinonha home, please contact the ACFS Intake Dept. at 613-575-5020.
