Action

Urge your member of Congress to reform the child welfare system to ensure the safety and well-being of all children, especially those who come to the attention of child welfare providers.

Specifically the Kinship Caregiver Support Act would help provide supportive services to children in the care of grandparents and other relatives both inside and outside of the formal foster care system. To take action in support of this piece of legislation visit All Children Deserve a Permanent Family.
