Kinship foster care involves placing children who cannot live at
home in foster care with other members of their family or close
network. This book sheds light on different aspects of kinship care
development and practice. Using a 20-year longitudinal research
study from Norway, this book shows the historical development of
kinship care in Norway, research on kinship care, and how family
life and relations are negotiated and lived in the span between
private and public sphere. It includes the perspectives of the
children, their parents and their relatives who have functioned as
foster parents. Recognising that kinship care is complex, and needs
to be understood and studied from different perspectives, the book
describes, analyses and discusses a number of subjects: kinship
care in a child welfare historical context, families who are part
of kinship care and their perspectives, the formal frameworks
around kinship care, and research approaches which have dominated
research into kinship care. This book will be of interest to all
scholars, students and professionals working in social work and
child welfare more broadly, both in the Nordic countries and in a
wider international context.
