Read the results of David Rubin’s kinship care research, which was presented on Capitol Hill in connection to pending legislation in the House and Senate that would provide access to important supportive services for relatives caring for children in foster care and those helping to keep children out of foster care.  On June 24, 2008, the House of Representatives passed the Fostering Connections to Success Act (H.R. 6307). The Act, passed with bipartisan support, extends greater supports to kinship families.
