Family Reunification
All children deserve a safe, loving home. Unfortunately, there are times when parents cannot fully meet a child’s needs and it becomes necessary to temporarily remove the child from that home. It is usually in a child’s best interests to be reunified with their family as soon as safely possible after the family stabilizes.
When a court decides parents are not able to meet the safety and care needs of the child, KVC works to find relatives of the child who are able to care for the child or matches children with adoptive forever families.
Last year, KVC helped 309 children safely reunite with their 209 families after foster care.
