And to my many friends who have walked various aspects of the kinship journey and for their willingness to share their perspectives in this book. Kim Phagan-Hansel Throughout the book you will find wisdom from people who are caring for children in kinship relationships. Many of the quotes are from anony- mous sources but the emotions, observations, and feelings you might recognize as some that you are experiencing. Please know that you aren’t alone. The Kinship Toolbox_Kinship 1/22/15 3:45 PM Page 4 More than 5.8 million American children live with their grandparents and another 2 million live with “other rela- tives,” according to the 2010 census. That’s more than 7.8 million children in America being raised in kinship care. Those numbers are startling, so I guess when I started think- ing about people in my own life touched by some form of K kinship care, I shouldn’t have been surprised at the large number I came up with. My own mother-in-law has been raising two grandsons for 18 years, and is still their main fam- ily support as they become adults. Other friends, colleagues, and acquaintances had grown up in kinship care raised by I aunts, uncles, and grandparents, while others had stepped in when the youngest members of their extended families need- ed them most. Many of their stories are shared throughout this book. While kinship care has been happening informally for thou- N sands of years, the latest generation of kinship care comes with a handful of unique challenges. Generations ago, multi- generational families lived together or in close proximity to each other, making it easy to raise children in an extended family setting. While those villages of generations gone-by provided strong foundations for children, today’s kinship S caregivers face difficult and daunting challenges when they step in to care for family. Often times the children’s parents have alcohol or drug dependencies. The children have wit- nessed violence and drug use firsthand, while others have H been neglected or abused – physically, mentally, and sexually. These early childhood traumas create unique challenges for kinship caregivers. Unlike foster parents who are required to go through hours of training in preparation for many of the challenges they face, kinship caregivers are delivered children with little to no warning. While foster parents are provided I funding through monthly reimbursement checks and support through caseworkers, CASAs, and others, often times kinship caregivers are left to face financial challenges alone, with little comfort or support. These families become parents, many for P the second time around, with little financial or emotional The Kinship Toolbox_Kinship 1/22/15 3:45 PM Page 5 support, no training, and little guidance. For many of these families, they are strug- gling on fixed incomes and without a life support of resources and professionals to guide them through the new-age world of parenting children from tough begin- nings. Unfortunately, these struggles are something I have witnessed firsthand. So before The Foster Parenting Toolbox was barely started, a number of people suggested we also tackle the topic of kinship care. So, here we are delivering The Kinship Parenting Toolbox to you. I will admit, this book provided its own set of unique challenges and for good reason. It was more difficult to find writers and resources for this book. For families, it is difficult to “air the dirty laundry” of their loved-ones. It’s one thing to write about other people’s problems, it’s entirely dif- ferent when those “other people” are family members that you love and have been hurt by. It was difficult to find resources because there are few out there, however as more and more child welfare agencies emphasize family placements, more resources are slowly becoming available. I hope The Kinship Parenting Toolbox will highlight many of the same things you have experienced on your kinship parenting journey. I also hope it will provide you with resources and information to turn to when you’re struggling with the children in your care. By providing you with this information, we hope to help make your parenting journey just a little bit easier and give you some tools to help you raise the children you have stepped up to parent. May your parenting journey – whether it’s the first, second, or third time around – be blessed with the resources and guid- ance you need when you need it most.

  • Allomaternal Investments and Child Outcomes in the United Kingdom
    Allomaternal Investments and Child Outcomes in the United Kingdom Emily Hazuki Emmott Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University College London 2014 p. 1 Declaration I, Emily Hazuki Emmott, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Emily H. Emmott p. 2 Abstract Due to the fact that human mothers often have multiple, vulnerable offspring with long periods of dependency, it is argued that mothers need assistance from allomothers to successfully provide and care for their children. Cross-cultural observations and quantitative research converge on support for the idea that mothers in high fertility, high mortality populations need assistance from other individuals for successful childrearing. It is also clear within the literature that there is variation across populations in terms of who matters: who provides the help, how they help, and how much impact they have on childrearing. The current thesis extends from previous studies by exploring the effects of allomothers on childrearing in a contemporary developed context: With economic development and the demographic transition, questions arise regarding the importance of allomothers for successful childrearing, and whether humans in these settings still operate as cooperative breeders. This thesis specifically focuses on quantitatively investigating the effects of fathers, stepfathers and grandparents on child development in the UK. First, using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, I investigate how direct investments from fathers and stepfathers affect multiple child outcomes. Second, using the UK Millennium Cohort Study, I investigate how direct and indirect investments from maternal and paternal grandparents affect parental investment levels, as well as multiple child outcomes.

  • Legal Basics: Grandparents and Other Non-Parent Kinship Families
    Legal Basics: Grandparents and Other Non-Parent Kinship Families CHAPTER SUMMARY • October 2018 Gerard Wallace, Director, New York State Kinship Navigator Fay Gordon, Project Manager, Justice in Aging Will Harrison, Legal Intern, Justice in Aging Justice in Aging Justice in Aging is a national organization that uses the power of law to fight senior poverty by securing access to affordable health care, economic security, and the courts for older adults with limited resources. Since the organization’s founding in 1972, we have focused our efforts on populations that have traditionally lacked legal protection such as women, people of color, LGBT individuals, and people with limited English proficiency. New York State Kinship Navigator The NYS Kinship Navigator is a statewide information, education, referral and advocacy program for kinship caregivers in New York State. The Navigator seeks to assist these caregivers and their support network by providing information on financial assistance, legal information and referrals, and other types of issues that caregivers face when raising children in order to provide stability and permanency in the home. Key Lessons 1. Kinship care is a general term referring to the care of children by relatives, or in some jurisdictions, close family friends. There are many terms associated with kinship families, each with distinct meaning. 2. More children are living with grandparents or other non-parents. Currently, 10% of children live in homes where the householders are grandparents or other relatives. 3. Different custody situations have varying degrees of authority and security for the children and caregivers. 4. A “kinship right to care” recognizes that kinship families are true families with core family rights.

    Tools for Working with Kinship Caregivers by Susan Dougherty Last updated: January 10, 20051 Training Materials 1. A Tradition of Caring is a comprehensive six-module, nine-session curriculum, providing kinship caregivers with 27 hours of valuable information and support related to kinship care. Sessions are designed to facilitate interaction and the sharing of experiences and support among participants. Meetings utilize a task-based, strengths-oriented approach to learning. During the course of this program, each participant develops a comprehensive individualized action plan for accessing needed resources and meeting identified family needs. Order from Child Welfare League of America Publications PO Box 932831 Atlanta, GA 31193-2831 1-800-407-6273 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.cwla.org/pubs/ 2. The Kinship Care Practice Project at the Jane Addams College of Social Work has prepared curriculum materials intended to prepare child welfare caseworkers for engaging family members of children in the custody of the child welfare system in development of a permanent plan for the child. The materials may also be useful tools for child welfare practice and policy, generalist practice, family intervention, and human behavior courses. The six learning units are: • The Context of Practice in Kinship Foster Care: Formal and Informal System Constraints and Opportunities • The Sociocultural Contexts of Kinship Care • Substance Abuse and Its Impact on Family Systems • Convening the Kinship Network • Decision-Making & Family Empowerment • Supporting Permanent Plans 1 This paper was originally prepared by the Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support in 2001. It has been updated by the National Resource Center for Family-Centered Practice and Permanency Planning.
