What are the different kinds of kinship care?

There are in essence three types of kinship care. The first is informal, and it's when the parent acknowledges that he or she may not be able to take care of their child, and a relative simple steps in to assume the care of that child. In this instance, there's no intervention of any authorities or the state or anything along those lines. Voluntary kinship care takes place when a child is placed with relatives, and the child warfare system is involved but the state has not taken legal custody of the child. In the third type of kinship care, the relatives are also taking care of the child cause the child has been placed with them. The state has take legal custody of the child and has a roll in the placement of that child with relatives.
