Pennsylvania Statutes Title 67 Pa.C.S.A. Public Welfare § 7501. Legislative intent

This chapter is intended to ensure that family finding occurs on an ongoing basis for all children entering the child welfare system, to promote the use of kinship care when it is necessary to remove a child from the child's home and to ensure that each child leaving foster care at 18 years of age or older is prepared for the transition to successful adulthood.
