The categories of adoption include:
• Alt. Family: Relative/Kinship Adoption
• Alt. Family: Unrelated Adoption
Alt. Family Relative/Kinship Adoption is the preferred permanency goal if reunification is not possible. If a family member or fictive kin (see the Services to Kinship Caregivers Resource Guide, under Definitions) has been ruled out for both adoption and permanent managing conservatorship, the next best option for permanency is Alt. Family: Unrelated Adoption.
