ODHS — Relative and Kinship Connections
Resources, agencies and counties · resources
What this source covers
ODHS explains relative and kinship connections for children in foster care and how family members can get involved. Part of the Oregon CPS, child welfare and juvenile dependency collection.
How to use it
Keep the CPS notice, petition, court orders, case or safety plan, service referrals and relevant communications. Identify the responsible office, case number and the issue you need reviewed. Read the current publisher instructions and discuss participation, available representation, records access and required dates with your lawyer or the responsible clerk or agency.
Limits and questions to verify
This is a source-navigation profile, not a legal opinion or verified deadline. An agency complaint, a founded-assessment review, a Citizen Review Board review and a juvenile court case are separate processes. Do not assume one request changes a court order or preserves another review or appeal date. Individual eligibility, confidentiality, jurisdiction and current local procedures require confirmation.
