| A national nonprofit adoption exchange providing adoption support and education to pre/post adoptive families and professionals that provide permanent families for adoptable children in the US foster care system. While our emphasis is with gay and lesbian adoptive families, we welcome and encourage the diversity of all family structures. |

FosterClub's mission is to provide encouragement, motivation, information, education, and benefits for foster youth. At our web sites, kids are asking questions and getting answers. They discover other successful former foster youth through our "Reach for the Stars" program, send in opinions about their foster care experience, get recognition for overcoming obstacles, enter our contests (where everyone wins!), and more. Our publications give youth tools to help then anticipate and succeed. Our events give youth an opportunity to get involved and grow. Outreach tools provide child welfare professionals effective ways to communicate with youth in care. In researching and developing new products for youth in care, we employ and consult with the "experts": current and former foster kids. This collaboration brings increased value to our products and ensures youth a voice in the foster care system. |
