Kinship care refers to the raising of children by grandparents, other extended family members, and unrelated adults with whom they have a close family-like relationship, such as godparents and close family friends, because the biological parents are unable to do so. Legal custody of the child may or may not be involved, and the child may be related by blood, marriage, or adoption.
