 Thankfully, in the end, Bruce was able to gain custody of his children. I'm glad Bruce and his family reached this positive outcome, but I know about other grandparents or aunts and uncles or siblings in similar situations for whom things have turned out differently. Those who didn't know how to advocate for themselves and their young, vulnerable family members in order to help keep them and help care for their family. Bruce's story underscores the burdens to kinship care that we should examine and correct. That's why we're here today with our panel of witnesses.
