FosterAdopt Connect began in 1998 when foster parents came together seeking better support, training, and community. What started as a small group grew quickly into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2000, driven by the needs of children and families affected by trauma.
Today, the organization continues its hands-on, “in the trenches” approach, offering innovative programs while advocating for system-wide improvements. Their mission focuses on recruiting, supporting, and retaining high-quality foster and adoptive families, championing the importance of family-based care, advocating for change at all levels, and creating programs that meet the needs of the most vulnerable children in foster care.
