This chapter is intended to ensure that family finding occurs on an ongoing basis for all children entering the child welfare system. This chapter is also intended to promote the use of kinship care when it is necessary to remove a child from the child's home in an effort to:
(1) Identify and build positive connections between the child and the child's relatives and kin.
(2) Support the engagement of relatives and kin in children and youth social service planning and delivery.
(3) Create a network of extended family support to assist in remedying the concerns that led the child to be involved with the county agency.
