Reply To: Pros and Cons of Kinship Legal Guardianship

[Anastasia Warden]

The pros of KLG in some cases are also the cons! KLG still allows the biological parents some say in decisions regarding the child as well as guaranteed access to the child. Since in these cases parental rights have been terminated, I would guess that often this would create a less stable and secure environment for the child. Adoption is certainly preferred as the child is guaranteed more resources and stability.
