My wife and I are currently a kinship family and have 2 children in our home that are in custody of FCCS. They have done nothing but LIE to my wife and I the entire 14 months we have had these children in our home. We make to much money to qualify for any county assistance. So we are not receiving any financial help from anyone. We were advised to look into the local food banks and charity organizations. They used to bring grocery store gift cards and help with utilities but that was stopped 3 months ago. Now to find out one of the children doesn't have a birth certificate or social security number so she cannot be claimed on our taxes as a dependent. She is almost 3 years old and has been in custody almost her entire life. FCCS was aware of this the entire time and have done nothing to assist us on obtaining the documentation required to correct this situation. In fact they some how illegally obtained a OHIO Healthy Start card for and placed us in a bad situation leagally with the State Of Ohio. STEER CLEAR OF THE KINSHIP PROGRAM AT ALL COST
