Meaning of family and care giving:children in foster care and kinship care
studies rarely include assessment of children’s feelings and thoughts regarding their foster placements (Berrick, Frasch and Fox, 2000).If kinship carers & parents have good relations child is more socially integrated.keeping children within their extended family reduces stigma and trauma of separation from parents.
Children were happy to be in care of their grandparents and y loved and trustedthem.
