Relatives Get Paid Less To Foster Children Than Strangers Under California Policy

Relatives Get Paid Less To Foster Children Than Strangers Under California Policy « CBS Sacramento:

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Research has shown foster children do better in a home with relatives than strangers.  But relative foster parents are often given a fraction of the funding to raise those kids, than a stranger foster care parent would receive.

Note: Of course Foster strangers get more money than relatives. That's no surprise.  And so does CPS/DCYF, Nationwide. That's the reason more often than not that children are placed with Foster strangers. CPS/DCYF lose money if the children are placed with relatives.
