Changing the Lives of Children in Foster Care, One Family at a Time

FosterAdopt Connect works with children, youth, and families as they navigate the complexities of the child welfare system. With the help of innovative tools, a dedicated professional staff, and over 20 years of experience working in the Kansas and Missouri foster care systems, we’re equipped to connect children with families that provide love, healing, and stability for a brighter future.

Guiding Families Toward Better Outcomes

Work in the trenches of the child welfare system can be just as difficult and confusing as it can be rewarding and life-giving. We partner with foster and adoptive families to help them succeed in combatting the negative outcomes that await foster children who never find a permanent family:

6x More Likely to Abuse Substances

Moves Every 90 Days

43% Will Be Homeless During Lifetime

Our Path to Success

Unite

Stability is key to healthy child development, especially for those who have suffered abuse and neglect. FosterAdopt Connect works to ensure that children are safe with loving biological, kinship, foster, or adoptive parents to begin the healing process through programs such as Extreme Family Finding™ and 30 Days to Family®.

Equip

Children thrive best in the context of loving families. FosterAdopt Connect supports and equips families to provide a healing environment for the children in their care through programs like Sammy's Window Clothing Closet and Food Pantry, Licensing, Training, Advocacy, and Behavioral Interventionist.

Launch

Children need a solid foundation to transition into adulthood with confidence and a sense of security. FosterAdopt Connect launches children toward a lifetime of success through programs like Community Youth Connections Project® and Serving the Underserved - Legal Advocacy.

Impacting the Foster Care Communities in Kansas and Missouri

As a non-profit built by foster and adoptive parents, we understand the unique needs of youth in foster care and their families. We work to make sure every child has a bright future in the home of a loving, safe, family.
