Kinship Care - Improving Practice Through Research (Paperback)

What do we really know about kinship care as a child welfare servie?

The contributors to this book look at a broad range of current studies to answer that question. Chapters include discussions that focus on permanency planning for children in kinship care, the children and their families, and on the kinship caregivers themselves. The editors also propose a detailed agenda for future research in this field. Kinship Care is a valuable resource for practitioners who seek to better understand the complex issues that arise when relatives care for children.
