Why do we do what we do?
There are 600 children waiting in Delaware's foster care system. Each one of them deserves a safe, loving and permanent family in which they can thrive.

We support families for life!
To put it simply, adoptive families need lifetime support to be successful. The journey doesn't end once the adoption is complete, guardianship has been granted or a family has been reunified - it's just beginning and we are there every step of the way.

Our children have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect that has impacted their brain development. The children and caregivers need the specific training and support that we offer for life, at no cost to them. Without these resources, our children are at a high risk for failed adoptions, trafficking, addiction, homelessness, abuse and incarceration.

Our post-permanency services help families facing a wide range of challenges. We offer a support system that allows us to help families when crisis arise, help them advocate for the child's academic needs, provide coaching, connect the with mental health resources and navigate birth family connections. Ongoing training and support is essential for parents caring for children who have experienced trauma. We offer monthly webinars and support groups, along with training and workshops. Many of our families need respite but struggle to find people or programs to care for their children's unique needs. Our nationally recognized Rec-n-Respite program and Family Respite services offers parents valuable time for self care while providing fun, therapeutic support of the children.
