There is hope… you are not alone!
We are kinship caregivers working together to ensure children raised by relatives have the same rights and opportunities as all children in care in the province of British Columbia.
Fairness for Children Raised by Relatives Society advocates on behalf of children who would otherwise be in the BC provincial foster care system if they had not been taken into the care of their grandparent(s) or another kinship relative.
What you are doing matters – you, and your family, matter! You are not alone.
We are over 13,000 strong in this province and this is where we come together and raise our voices in unison so that we can be heard, be seen, be respected, and be supported. Our children should be entitled to the same benefits as those in the foster care system.
