A lot of people assume foster care means strangers and paperwork.

In reality, a large share of our families are kinship families: grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends who stepped up so a child could stay with someone they already know. In Georgia, for every 1 child in kinship foster care within the system, there are 28 children in relative care outside it, meaning most of these families have no access to formal support at all. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #KinshipCare #RelativeCare #FosterCareGA
