  Where will the money go? 
 

AFFEC offers the following programs to serve children and families:

 

HEART GALLERY (Oregon & Washington)

Our photo exhibit has grown from one location to 40! Since our inception, over 300 children have moved through the Heart Gallery on to their forever families. Sincere gratitude is offered to the photographers who have donated their talent and time to take compelling photos of children in foster care.
 

HEART GALLERY ADOPTION AGENCY
The Heart Gallery Adoption Agency was founded with the goal of assisting children waiting in foster care to find their "Forever Families." The Heart Gallery Adoption Agency is different than many existing agencies because the focus is entirely on special needs adoptions (children over six-years-old, sibling sets, ethnic minorities, or children with a physical, mental, or emotional disability).

 

WEBSITES

While the web can go hand in hand with the Gallery, it can also be a simple stand alone tool. Our two websites receive over 300 inquires, and over 120 home studies submitted to caseworkers a week. The majority of these come from out of state families from all over the country.   

 

MENTOR PROGRAM

Our mentors are dedicated to investing their time in their youths to instill independence, confidence and everyday life skills. This is done through unconditional support that will in turn create everlasting bonds.
 

FAMILY BUILDING PROGRAM
It is nationally recognized that 75% of the families that begin the adoption process get discouraged by the lack of support.  We are a resource for adoptive families, providing services, information and support. Our two main goals in this area are to keep potential adoptive families in the process and the other is to ensure that completed adoptions do not disrupt.

 

FAMILY FINDING PROGRAM

This is a search and reconnect process to help find lost relatives and others who may have been in the lives of foster children prior. This is done through researching DHS case files, combined with an Internet search. 

 

MATCHING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This program was created to aid families through the adoption process. We are committed to assisting families, caseworkers and adoption workers in the effort to place children in adoptive homes. With special websites geared towards parents, a liaison they can call, and an ever-growing "private listing website" of many more children that can't be seen on a public site. 

 

LIFE BOOKERS
Each child leaving foster care must have a Life Book which is created for them to preserve their past. Caseworkers are happy to have someone do this large task for them and scrap bookers are pleased to find a way to contribute.

 

LIFE TIME COMMITTED PARENTS
Finding permanent parents for teens before they exit foster care, no matter what age they are, is the single greatest positive youth development program there is. The focus of this project is to find permanent adoptive parents for teens that need a permanent placement, or to find committed permanent connections who will morally adopt teens who are not emancipated but are in danger of discharge from foster care to homelessness.
