Our Vision & Values
We imagine a world where no child leaves foster care without the permanent family they deserve. We envision a compassionate community of individuals, families, and supporters ready to respond, working together to provide the transformative connections these children need
COMPASSION
We practice solidarity with those who have experienced loss, trauma, and injustice—
especially those touched by foster care. This drives us to act for equity, dignity, and
healing in all that we do
INNOVATION
We continually fill gaps in an overwhelmed foster care system. We wield creativity,
insight, and imagination to create new solutions to persistent problems.
CONNECTION
We work collaboratively to nurture the most essential human connections—the bonds
of family and community. We gather with joy, reflection, vulnerability and hope in
accomplishing our work.
Finding Families For The Children Who Wait the Longest
While the first goal of foster care is always to return kids to their family of origin once it is safe to do so, that's not always possible. We help youth in foster care in need of an adoptive home find a family that matches their needs.
We exist especially to find adoptive homes for those children who wait the longest for adoptive placements.
