Changing the Lives of Children in Foster Care, One Family at a Time
Every kid deserves a childhood free of abuse and neglect within a family that offers love, stability, and safety. FosterAdopt Connect actively monitors the changing needs of children in foster and adoptive care within the community to identify gaps in available services. To fill these gaps, we search nationally and internationally for best practices to implement and, if none are available, we create innovative solutions to improve outcomes for the children and families we serve.
Positive Impact in Your Community
FosterAdopt Connect’s programs and services result in positive change for those who need it the most. Through innovation and dedication, we walk hand-in-hand with children and families to ensure they’re heard as they navigate uncertainty.

🤔 FAC FAQs: What types of support services are provided after a child is placed in the home?
When a child is placed in your home as a foster placement, you will receive a monthly stipend and bi-annual clothing allowance. The reimbursement rate depends upon the child’s age, level of care required, and placing agency. Medical and dental insurance is provided by the state. If counseling or therapy services are needed, the state may also provide for those services.
FosterAdopt Connect also provides online and in-person support groups, advocacy, training, clothing closet, food pantry, and more to all foster families in Missouri and Kansas. You won’t be alone! Learn more on our website 👉 fosteradopt.org
