Sep 28, 2018· American Academy of Pediatrics· ACF-2018-0006-0879

On behalf of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a non-profit professional organization of 67,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical sub-specialists, and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults, we appreciate the opportunity to provide input on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) proposed Model Family Foster Home Licensing Standards. The AAP commends ACF for developing these guidelines, which will support quality placements for children in foster care and a reduction in unnecessary barriers to placements with extended relatives, known as kinship care. Please see the attached file for our official comments on these standards. Once again, thank you for this opportunity.
