Foster and Adoptive Family Services (FAFS) is a non-profit whose mission is to provide support, training, and advocacy to meet the special needs of foster, adoptive, and kinship famlies, who provide a safe, stable, and nuturing home for children in foster care. FAFS provides contracted services to help the over 5000 families who care for children in foster care. For over 35 years they have also identified gaps in services to children and families and have developed privately funded programs and services to bridge these gaps.
