Episode #62 The Purpose of Permanency
Show Notes

In Episode #62, we chat with Chief of Legal Services, attorney Kelly Ensslin to discuss the different permanency options available to children experiencing foster care. In Delaware, we have four (4) main permanency options:

  • Reunification
  • Guardianship
  • Permanent Guardianship
  • TPR/Adoption

Kelly discusses these in detail and includes who can apply for each, what legal criteria exists, what benefits might be present, and also gives an example of when each permanency option is optimal. We also briefly discuss APPLA (Another Planned Permanent Living Arrangement) which is basically long-term foster care, but we have another Podcast based on that topic so we only briefly touch on APPLA in this episode. 

We do have two other videos that might be helpful when understanding Termination of Parental Rights for Purposes of Adoption:
