75% of siblings get separated.

More than 20,000 kids disappear from the U.S. foster system every year.

Our Mission

Our mission is to place every child eligible for adoption into a safe, permanent, loving home through our results based 3-Phase Plan.

We intend to return foster care to its original purpose, a short-term safety net for kids awaiting reunification with their birth family or another permanency outcome. We aim to support caseworkers and will revolutionize the group home setting for those children who need to remain in foster care.

We started with a commitment to foster children and have come to learn of the intersection of these children with the child sex trafficking industry. We have integrated into our mission a commitment to end child sex trafficking born out of the child welfare system and will blunt one of the major pipelines for traffickers and keep these children safe.

Introducing...

THE 3 PHASE PLAN

We will attract more than enough individuals and families community-by-community for every single child who is available for adoption. We will do this through an unprecedented multi-media campaign that creates mass awareness, brings this topic into our national dialogue, engages and mobilizes the community.

PHASE 1

Attract more Individuals & Families

We will do this by supporting social workers, caseworkers and other professionals with new modern matching tools and resources as well as additional proven and effective training and development opportunities. 

PHASE 2

Empower Social & Case Workers

We are creating a Home and Collegiate Environment by and scaling successful models already delivering exceptional outcomes for these children.

PHASE 3

Revolutionizing the Group Home Setting

Our 3-Phase Plan that places every child eligible for adoption into a safe, permanent and loving home will eliminate the circumstance of kids being raised in foster care as a way of life for approximately 25% of children in foster care while also improving conditions for the children remaining in care and the social and caseworkers that serve them.
