US: What is kinship care? It’s more common than you think (Commentary)
Christian Post – September 28, 2024
More than 2.5 million children in the U.S. are currently in the care of relatives – or “kinship care,” as it’s called. This statistic represents tens of thousands of grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family members who have stepped up in a time of need. It’s not always easy, but kinship care is crucial. Research shows that this form of care has better outcomes for children and families when parents aren’t able to safely care for their children. And, this month — National Kinship Awareness Month — honors those caregiving for the children in their lives, and it also gives all of us a chance to uplift the caregivers in our communities.
