伊利诺伊州立法者正在考虑《需求亲属关系法》(KIND),该法将使寄养儿童更容易与亲属生活在一起,旨在减少兄弟姐妹分离现象并改善心理健康。 Illinois lawmakers are considering the Kinship in Demand (KIND) Act, which would make it easier for children in foster care to live with relatives, aiming to reduce sibling separation and improve mental health. 该法案经参议院批准,允许为相关照顾者制定单独的标准,并寻求额外的联邦资金支持这些家庭并进行背景调查。 The act, approved by the Senate, allows separate standards for relative caregivers and seeks additional federal funding to support these families and conduct background checks. 这项措施特别旨在使在寄养系统中人数过多的黑人儿童受益。 The measure particularly aims to benefit Black children, who are overrepresented in the foster care system.
