Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Information to know, organizations that can help The amended September 1995 Social Security Act requires states to specify adult relatives as the first foster care option. The Kinship Care Act of 1996 puts grandparents first in line as potential foster care parents and adoptive parents for children who have been removed from their parents' home. If you are raising a grandchild and you haven't created or updated your will and estate plan, make completing these documents a top priority. Grandparents may need to be legal guardians in order to enroll a grandchild in school. The American Bar Association can refer you to attorneys which can help with guardianship.
