Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In cities across the nation, more than 2.5 million kids are being raised by relatives who are not their biological parents. Is kinship care better than traditional foster care? Or worse? In our continuing series with the Urban Institute, Kojo and guests examine the benefits and challenges of regulating kinship care.

- Ana Beltran Project Director for the Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children Program, Generations United
