Kinship Adoption – Meeting the Unique Needs of a Growing Population

November 21, 2015 by Greg Cywnar

Kinship Adoption Meeting the Unique Needs of a Growing Population

Every year, more and more children in foster care find permanent homes with relatives when they cannot return to live with their parents. Most children will find permanent homes through relative adoption, which continued to increase throughout the decade. In 2000, 21 percent of the children adopted from foster care were adopted by relatives. By 2007, relative adoptions from foster care accounted for 28 percent of the children exiting foster care.

This publication was a collaborative effort between ChildFocus and the North American Council on Adoptable Children
