Although the number of children in kinship care has increased in recent years, this type of protection measure has been received less supervision and fewer services. Results show kinship foster families are usually grandparents, specially grandmothers, 60 years old, pensioners with low incomes, who cared 11 year old children with adapta-tion problems and low academic achievement.Downloads
