Can you parent a child with challenging to difficult behaviors?
Do you have experience with medical needs?
Opening your home to a child in need is certainly a special calling. If any of these needs meet your family heart's desire, our Matching Assistance Program could be for you!
Matching Assistance is a password protected membership program with additional child listings, helping support qualified, current approved home studied families looking for available waiting foster children.
We understand that adoption workers, and caseworkers as well, have very high case loads and many simply do not have the time and resources to recruit for one family day in and day out. That is where AFFEC steps in.
Our Goal
Our goal is to work alongside families providing them with one on one communication, assurance and assistance in learning how to best represent themselves in their family biography. In addition, helping families by performing national child searches based on information provided within your approved homestudy and family biography.
With the Matching Assistance Program, families now have options!
"We have been super-satisfied with your website and can't believe we were picked so quickly." N & B Smith
Many families have a difficult time identifying children to inquire on as well as being considered and contacted by the children's caseworkers. We're here to help families through this sometimes long and challenging part of the adoption process.
Children’s case workers from all over the United States search for suitable, approved homes for
thousands of foster children nationwide.
In this search, they are looking at parenting qualifications such as:
Parent Training and Education
Ability to accommodate special needs of child
Having your family biography, home study, and family video ready for a searching case worker greatly increases the chance that you will be identified as a potential adoptive family for a waiting foster child.
You don't need extraordinary equipment to provide these to us. Pertinent, honest, and entertaining family
photos can be taken with an ordinary digital video/camera and uploaded via the internet to the Matching Assistance website.
We can, depending on the option you choose, follow up on children you inquire or submit your homestudy on using our "submit on offsite children" button within the Matching Assistance website. Search nationwide on your behalf and support you through your adoption journey, providing you additional online training resources.
We are NOT taking place of your adoption agency or your assigned adoption worker. They are extremely important to you during the adoption process. We work alongside you as part of a team to help identify a child or sibling group available within the foster care system in the United States.
