Abstract

This special issue celebrates the 10-year anniversary of GrandFamilies: The Contemporary Journal of Research, Practice and Policy. The launch of this journal a decade ago marked a significant milestone in the study of kinship families, sparking a surge of scholarly work in the field. As is evident in the 12 articles included in this special issue, the journal has kept true to its original objective to be an important “forum for quality, evidence-based research with sound scholarship, knowledge, skills and best practices from the field for scholars, clinicians, policymakers, educators, program administrators and family advocates.”
