NJ Kinship Legal Guardianship Resource Clearing House

Some of our services include:

The KinKonnect Warm Line provides information, resources and an empathic ear. Whether you need help with kinship care issues, have questions about the process of obtaining Kinship Legal Guardianship (KLG), need a grandparent support group and/or just had a difficult day with the children you are caring for, you will receive a supportive reception when you call KinKonnect. Our warm line team members provide telephone consultation and are happy to direct you to the services you need for you, and / or your family. Both English and Spanish speaking representatives are available. 

The Resource portion of the website includes local, state wide and regional resources.  Our Resource Directory includes kinship related services, agencies, support groups, mental health providers, medical resources, special needs camps, crisis intervention, family support organizations and more.

The KinKonnect library shares the same library as the NJ Adoption Resource Clearing House (NJ ARCH). This extensive library includes books, videos, pamphlets and articles on kinship, adoption, parenting and more. The books have been reviewed by adoption/ kinship care professionals and the summary notes on the books should help you choose the book that’s right for you.
