Thread: Why Family vs. Foster
This being my first experience in foster care I need help to understand family vs foster family. Baby B has been with us for one year, since she was six weeks old. Parents show up weekly,(separately). Case has been extended til Feb. My problem is: they are asking parents if there are relatives to get home studies done. In my opinion, if a relative has not stepped up within a year as a kinship placement, what type of relationship can that relative have that makes them more suitable than the foster family at this point? I don't believe unnecessary changes in placement is a healthy move for children. Any suggestions?
