According to this article from Trinidad and Tobago Newsday, the Children Authority in Tobago plans to regularize foster care and promote kinship care in the country. “For those people who are in foster relationships, we want to regularise it," said Chairman Hanif Benjamin. "A lot of persons have a niece, a nephew; so, we are saying to people, come forward and we will help you to regularise the situation so that we can offer you the assistance you need to ensure that the child thrives." He added "we want to encourage those family members who have the ability to step forward to step forward and take the child."
