The Children’s Authority is looking to raise awareness and interest in Kinship Foster Care.

This comes as it commemorates September as Adoption and Foster Care awareness month in T&T.

Kinship Foster Care is a temporary placement option where a child who has been removed from their family of origin is placed with a relative, other than the parent.

The Authority is hoping to attract eligible persons who can provide a safe, loving home for a child in need of care and protection, and to help the child maintain a sense of their culture and family connections.

Director/CEO of the Children’s Authority, Sheldon Cyrus, says, “we still believe it takes a village to raise a child, and through Kinship Foster Care we can build a legacy by making a positive impact in a child’s life.”
