What does Private Guardianship involve in the child welfare system?

A process for court-appointed guardians for foster children
A legal proceeding for child custody transfer from one parent to another
A formal arrangement for a non-parent to obtain legal custody of a child in care
A process for terminating parental rights

The correct answer is: A formal arrangement for a non-parent to obtain legal custody of a child in care

Private Guardianship in the child welfare system involves a formal arrangement for a non-parent to obtain legal custody of a child in care. This means that a non-parent individual or entity, such as a family member or a close family friend, takes on the legal responsibility and rights of caring for the child. This arrangement is often made when it is determined to be in the best interest of the child to be in the care of someone other than the birth parents. Option A is incorrect as it refers to court-appointed guardians for foster children, which is a different process than private guardianship. Option B is incorrect as it describes a legal proceeding for child custody transfer between parents, not involving non-parent individuals or entities. Option D is incorrect as it describes the process for terminating parental rights, which is a more severe legal action than establishing a private guardianship arrangement.
