This bill amends the Social Security Act to promote kinship care (placement with relatives or close family friends) as a permanency option for children in foster care. It requires states to make prompt, active efforts to identify and involve relatives and fictive kin in case planning, removes barriers to kinship placements, and establishes documentation requirements when states determine kinship placement is not in a child's best interest. The bill also modifies parental rights termination procedures to require clear and convincing evidence and meaningful input from kinship caregivers before proceeding with adoption when a child has been in foster care for 24 months.
