Abarca temas de interés para el creciente número de abuelos y otros parientes que cuidan a niños cuyos padres no están en capacidad de cuidarlos. A veces, este arreglo, llamado “cuidado por parientes” (en inglés, “kinship care”), es un acuerdo informal y privado entre los padres y los parientes. En otras ocasiones, la agencia local de bienestar de menores está involucrada. Esta hoja informativa está diseñada para ayudar a los proveedores de cuidados familiar—incluyendo abuelos, tías y tíos, otros parientes y amigos familiares que cuidan niños—a trabajar de manera efectiva con el sistema de bienestar de menores. También se incluye un glosario de términos comunes de bienestar de menores y enlaces para encontrar más información o ayuda.Discusses issues of interest to the growing number of grandparents and other relatives caring for children whose own parents are unable to care for them. Sometimes, the arrangement (referred to as "kinship care") is an informal, private arrangement between the parents and relative caregivers; in other situations, the local child welfare agency is involved. This factsheet is designed to help kinship caregivers—including grandparents, aunts and uncles, other relatives, and family friends caring for children—work effectively with the child welfare system. Resources, such as links to more detailed information or places to find help, are included.
