Benefits of Kinship Foster Care

Children in kinship care experience drastically less trauma than those placed with strangers in foster care. They perform better in school, stay connected to their cultural roots, and are far more likely to remain placed with their siblings. It protects the child's emotional well-being.

I represented an older sister, Chloe*, who was fighting to keep her two younger siblings out of separate foster homes. We secured emergency kinship guardianship, keeping the three of them under one roof. Today, both younger kids are thriving honor-roll students. I'm one of fewer than 1000 people in the country who is a certified child welfare law specialist.  I’ve trained alongside top family advocates to ensure our legal strategies prioritize emotional stability just as much as legal safety.  

I'm perfect for your church friend who just registered a new child for Sunday school.
