Gov. JB Pritzker on Wednesday signed legislation aimed at making it easier for relatives to become a child’s foster parents.
The Kinship in Demand (KIND) Act would allow the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services more flexibility in certifying grandparents and other relatives as foster parents for children in their family.
“We want to put everything we have into helping kids find homes … so they can be safe, and be with loved ones, and grow and thrive in a family,” DCFS director Heidi Mueller said.
