🤔 FAC FAQs: Do I have a say as to which child is placed in my home?

Foster parents can specify things like the age range and number of children they feel capable of caring for. They also have the right to ask questions about the child’s history and have the option to decline any placement. Every step of the way, you are never alone in this journey. 💙

🚨Big news: Foster and Adoptive Family Resource Center funding has been fully restored in the Missouri legislature, and it wouldn't have been possible without all of YOUR help.

This outcome is proof that good people acting together are powerful. We want to thank the Missouri House and Senate for hearing your calls, and recognizing the impact this funding has on thousands of children and families across the state. They will now continue to receive the support they need because of all of us. 💙

This is truly a moment worth celebrating! 🙌

Want to take control of your Missouri tax dollars? Gifts to FosterAdopt Connect qualify for a 70% Missouri State Tax Credit, which can be applied to your tax liability now or carried forward up to 5 years. That means a gift of $1,000 could cost you as little as $129 out of pocket — all while directly supporting children and families navigating the foster care system.

Any individual or business with Missouri business income may be eligible, including rental property owners, farm operations, S-Corps, LLCs, and more. Reach out to Carla Randall at [email protected] or 417-349-6860 to learn more, and consult your tax advisor for details specific to your situation.

For our families who need help with diapers

05/04/2026

We still have a family in need of a double stroller.

Would any of our followers have a double stroller they would be willing to donate for one of our families that has just taken in two of their grandchildren? This would be a blessing for them.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I'm a constituent from [YOUR CITY] and a supporter of FosterAdopt Connect. I'm calling to ask you to restore full funding for Family Resource Centers in Missouri.

As a donor and supporter of FosterAdopt Connect, I've seen how important these programs are for children and families across the state. Through services like [MENTION PROGRAMS/SERVICES YOU KNOW ABOUT AND SUPPORT], families can access the resources, guidance, and stability they need to stay strong.

I support FosterAdopt Connect because I know how critical these supports are for families who may otherwise struggle to access help. Without full funding, many families could lose access to the support systems that help them stay safe, stable, and connected.

Please support full funding for Family Resource Centers, so organizations like FosterAdopt Connect can continue helping families across Missouri thrive. Thank you!

💙 Foster and adoptive Family Resource Centers work, and the proof is in the families they've kept together. When foster and adoptive families get the right support, kids stay home instead of cycling into residential care. But Missouri's FRC funding still hasn't been fully restored, and 1,500 families served by FosterAdopt Connect are hanging in the balance. 📞 Call your Missouri senator today and use the script below.
