Foster, Kinship/Grandparent, and Adoptive Family Resources

The structure of a family who has a child with a disability can be made up in many different ways. In some families, the biological parents are not the child's caregivers. Instead, it may be a kinship family, such as when a grandparent, aunt, or uncle becomes the child's guardian. And many families choose to foster or adopt a child with a disability.

This section provides links to resources that are specific to foster, kinship, and adoptive families. The Ohio Legal Rights Service (OLRS) attempts to verify that the links referenced are helpful for people with disabilities. However, OLRS does not guarantee that the information provided within the destination link is accurate or right for the particular needs of the person. Once you follow a link away from the OLRS Web site, refer to that site's privacy policy and disclaimer statements.
