    KINSHIP FOSTER CARE is a situation that exists when children are in the legal custody of the Department of Social Services through Child Protection Services, and then placed with a relative caregiver. The relative’s home then becomes a foster care home for the child. The caregiver has only temporary physical custody of the child, and the state DSS retains the legal right to make all major decisions concerning the child.

    There are two important benefits to the foster care system for the child and the caregiver. The first is that foster care payments are considerably higher than other forms of assistance, such as Public Assistance.

    The second benefit is that foster care homes receive many services and intensive casework they otherwise might not be eligible for. Some caregivers choose not to give the DSS the amount of involvement with their child that foster care means. Others welcome the additional money and services.

    To enter into a Kinship Foster Care arrangement, you and your home must be approved for foster care, as must other people living in your household. You may have a difficult time becoming a Kinship Foster Care parent if you have a criminal record or a disability that would prevent you from caring for the child. The child you wish to take care of must also be a foster care child. A child may have a difficult time becoming a foster care child if you, the caregiver, already have legal custody, or if Child Protective Services was never involved with the case.
