Welcome to A Family For Every Child - Serving Families, Children and Agencies Nationwide / A Family For Every Child is dedicated to finding loving, permanent families for every waiting foster child.
The Matching Assistance Program
A free membership program that provides nationwide families with access to additional child listings in order to help support home study-approved families who are seeking to adopt from foster care.
15th Night
The 15th Night is a community-wide partnership working to align and leverage existing community resources in innovative ways to help youth, who are Bethel-Eugene 4J students navigating school and life alone, without a permanent place to spend the night.
Matching Events
Online Matching Events utilize easy, simple and accessible technology to portray foster children in a professional and aesthetically pleasing manner. We use several photos of the child to portray their everyday life, personality and activities. The social worker presents a slide show for every family that has interest in the child.
Adoption Agency
A Family for Every Child Adoption Agency recognizes that “Forever Families” come in all shapes and sizes. We are an inclusive agency that specializes in finding permanent families for children in the foster care system that tend to be the most difficult to place because of their age, ethnicity, sibling group, developmental, emotional or physical disability.
Mentor Program
The mission of our Mentor Program is to bring enthusiastic, dedicated, caring adult members of our community and unite them with youth in foster care and/or youth at risk in our community.
Featured Family: Meet the Kosoff Family!
Our names are Marguerite (Margo) and Deron. I am 51 years old and Deron is 55. We have two children, Ethan,10, and Alec who is 25 years old and we are interested in adopting 1 to 2 children from 5-12 years of age. We live in Oregon in a quiet cul-de-sac with a large park and baseball field nearby. We have a good understanding of one another and have worked through a lot of challenges individually and as a family and feel we have what it takes to support a new member of the family. We know the realities of this endeavor and feel that we are equipped to make this new family work!

Princess for a Day
August 15, 2021
2021 will mark our 13th year of providing foster and community children alike the opportunity to experience a day of pampering and fun. In 2020, we catered to more than 350 “princesses” and we expect to surpass that number in 2021! This is a regal gathering for all the children in the land. This event is to celebrate the children both in foster care and not by giving them the royal treatment. This includes being pampered, adorned in a new outfit fit for royalty, and a fancy tea party.

On behalf of A Family for Every Child and our 12th annual A Home For The Holidays Auction, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to partner with us to support this worthwhile event benefiting foster children in search of their forever families.
