| Annotation | In this article, the authors examine the different licensing and payment policies in the United States for kinship foster care, and assess the potential impact of licensing policies on the likelihood that grandparents or other kin will become licensed as formal kinship foster care providers. With this information, discussion is presented that outlines possible barriers to formalised foster kinship care placement and identifies the need for changes in public policy that could lead to increased program access for kinship foster caregivers.
