Princess Event 2011 Princess For A Day 2012 On March 4, 2012, we will be hosting our 4th annual Princess for a Day event. This special day is an opportunity for Oregon girls to be treated like a princess for a day. It is designed to be a gift for foster children in the community as well as to raise awareness of foster children in Oregon. Each princess will take home a gown, crown, and slippers too. She’ll have her hair and nails done, and be in her very own photo shoot. Last but not least she and a guest will attend a tea party fit for a queen. We are accepting donations of new or gently used dresses, shoes, and accessories to fit girls ages 2-18. Bring donations to 880 Beltline Road, Springfield Oregon. Also visit our Amazon Wishlist at http://tinyurl.com/PrincessEvent. Want to help transform girl into princesses for a day? If you are interested in volunteering for the event please e-mail linzy@afamilyforeverychild.org . Last but not least register a princess, and give her a special day she deserves. The success of this event depends on you! For additional information about A Family For Every Child or Princess for a Day visit us online at by clicking here or contact us at 541-343-2856.

Agencies: Partner with us To Help Families
We work with many adoption and state agencies throughout the United States and are now offering an exciting opportunity to partner with A Family For Every Child to further benefit your families. Over time we have developed valuable relationships with many of you; working together to assist families and therefore have found homes for children. All we are asking is your willingness to let your families know about our Matching Assistance Program and partner with us to better serve families in a time of large workloads for all. Let’s work together and change the life of a child by building a family. This program will offer your families support that complements what you are already doing. As a team we can work to match them sooner and perhaps support them through the process. We all know this is a big job and often requires a team. Read More...
Our Matching Assistance Program Could be For You

Have you had trouble searching for children and submitting your homestudy?

Have you found it difficult to obtain information and updates on children you are interested in or have submitted your homestudy on?

Matching Assistance is a password protected site with additional child listings, helping support qualified, current home studied families during their journey to adoption. Many families have a difficult time finding children to submit on as well as being considered and notified by the caseworkers. We pride ourselves on having a very current and reliable web listing of children waiting for their adoptive family.  Learn more ....

  • Family Adoption Specialists search over 70 photolisting sites to find  children that meet
    your family's needs.

  • Each month, Family Adoption Specialists e-mail families at least 8 compiled lists of
    children that fit a family's child preferences.

  • In the first quarter of 2011, the Matching Assistance Program provided nearly 50
    families across the country with foster care adoption support services, national and
    local child searches and resources.

  • The Matching Assistance Program has access to over 700 privately listed  children.

  • 2/3 of families who left the program in March of 2011 were successfully matched
    with a child or sibling group.

Adoption can be a long road and the rewards are sometimes not immediate rewards. If you would like to know some of the statistics, read on about why
adoption of foster care is beneficial to everybody.
