Description

Greenlight Family Services has been providing legal guardianship services since 2003. Guardianship is legal custody that allows the caregiver to make decisions for the child in their care. It differs from adoption because the biological parent's rights are not terminated. Guardianship allows the caregiver to make legal, medical, educational, and financial decisions for the child or adult in their care.
