Kinship Center is a California nonprofit agency dedicated to the creation, preservation and support of foster, adoptive and relative families for children who need them. This year Kinship Center begins its second quarter century of building stable, permanent families.
Since 1984, Kinship Center has helped create and support families for thousands of children of all ages: those who can no longer remain safely with their birth parents because of abuse and neglect, and also those who are voluntarily relinquished for adoption as infants by their birth parents. Kinship Center is headquartered in Salinas, California with facilities and services in eleven Southern California, Central Coast and Northern California counties.
Dedicated to the belief that children need permanent families in order to heal and thrive, Kinship Center has created programs and services over the years to meet the needs of children, including those with past trauma, and to support the adults who step forward to provide them safe "forever families."

Kinship center trying to sell peoples kids to strangers? what is so righteous about that? How about doing your job and place with relatives. Not impressed

@sunflowerinthemist Placing children with relatives is always a first priority! Kinship Center has programs in several counties that help relatives be able to care for children who have suffered abuse or neglect. We do everything we can to help children stay connected to their families of origin. Sometimes there are no relatives or it's not a safe option for a child, so we need to find a loving adoptive family. Kinship Center is also committed to keeping siblings together.

This is absolutely fabulous. It's the most powerful 30 seconds imaginable. Congratulations, Allison and Kinship Center for a wonderful contribution to our kids.

Thank you...foster kids have some very powerful stories. If even just one new adoptive family steps forward as a result of seeing this, we'll know it was a success.
