Foster Care Services

Foster care- Children who are under the age of 18 may be placed in foster care for reasons such as:

  • Voluntary transfer of care and custody agreement to LDSS.
  • Result of child protective case.
  • Family Court finds that a child is a person in need of supervision or a juvenile delinquent.An individual permanency plan is developed for each child to reunite them with the biological family (parents or relative) as soon as safe. If this objective is not accomplished within one year, alternate plans may be necessary to either free them for adoption or prepare them to live independently after foster care.

Kinship Care 

Sometimes a child cannot live safely with their parents. Relatives or friends of the family may then provide full time care to the child in the relative or family friend's home. This is known as kinship care.

This can be done informally by the family, or formally by Family Court when the local child welfare agency is involved in a child protective case.

There are several different kinds of kinship care, with varying levels of obligation and financial help

If you have questions about kinship care visit ocfs.ny.gov/kinship or call 1 (800) 345-KIDS (5437)
