The Children's Minister says 'outdated' requirements could be institutionalising kids by limiting resources.
The Government is scrapping Oranga Tamariki targets for placing children with family and investing with Māori organisations.
A Bill passed last week to remove Treaty provisions from the Children's Ministry.
Children's Minister Karen Chhour says she hears non-Māori caregivers have felt unwanted in recent years.
"I want good caregivers, people who are willing to open up their homes and love these kids, to feel comfortable putting their hands up knowing that they can do a good job for these young people."
