FosterAdopt Connect

About Us

A Missouri Foster Care Organization Since 1998
In 1998, a group of dedicated foster parents recognized a need for stronger support, training, and companionship as they pursued the difficult and rewarding work of parenting children in the foster care. Many felt isolated and ill-equipped to provide the most loving care for kids who had experienced abuse and neglect. As more and more families were drawn to the support and advocacy offered by the group, it quickly matured into FosterAdopt Connect (formerly Midwest Foster Care and Adoption Association), which was incorporated in 2000 as a 501c3 nonprofit social service organization. Rapid growth, fueled by the needs of children and families impacted by trauma, has expanded the geographic reach and depth of the innovative programs and services offered. Yet, at its core, FosterAdopt Connect maintains an “in the trenches with you” approach to serving kids and families.
Our Mission: To provide advocacy and innovative programming which supports and empowers foster children, their families, and alumni impacted by the child welfare system.
Sammy’s Window & Children’s Resale Market prioritizes supporting local foster, kinship, and adoptive families by providing essential items at NO COST TO THEM. Proceeds of the resale market go onto our job training program for young adults helping them gain valuable experience and confidence.
