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.

🎒 Once again, our Hazelwood Community partner came together to support our 2026 Back to School Drive. Over two days in July they were able to collect many backpacks, pens and pencils, markers, notebooks and so much more! We are always appreciative of our devoted friends and their giving hearts! 💙
✏️ We're so excited for our Back to School event on Saturday, August 1st! We’d love your help by either donating school supplies or volunteering to pack backpacks. Interested? Donate or sign up today! 📚
