When you become a recurring donor, you’re ensuring a brighter future for the 300,000 + children in the United State’s foster care system who desire to be rooted in family-through either reunification with their biological family or a permanent family through adoption- and you’ll get a special gift from us, too!
Helping children achieve permanency through family is vital for achieving the best outcomes. For children who are legally freed for adoption, identifying adoptive families before they age out of care is crucial, as aging out increases chances for them to be incarcerated, homeless, or victims of human trafficking. For children with a goal of reunification, Family-Match helps child welfare professionals increase their pool of prospective foster families to serve children in their communities. Family-Match is a data-driven decision-making tool helping child welfare professionals connect children with families who can best care for them. Social workers can use Family-Match to efficiently assess the most compatible family for their waiting children – even families just beginning the licensing process. The science behind our globally recognized matching models promotes child and family pairings that will yield the greatest chance of success- regardless of the child’s placement needs (short term foster care placement or permanent adoption placement).
