*Kinship- Kinship care refers to caregiving arrangements in which children are raised by relatives or close family friends when their biological parents are unable to care for them. This includes traditional kinship caregivers such as grandparents raising their grandchildren, or aunts and uncles caring for their nieces and nephews. It also encompasses fictive kinship, where non-relatives-such as a close family friend, teacher, coach, or mentor-step in to provide a stable, loving home and assume a parental role based on a strong emotional bond or prior relationship with the child
