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.

Hello! We are Kody and Melissa! We live in Michigan with our son Reed. Kody and I have known each other since kindergarten and we got married in 2015. We live on a quiet road outside of the city where our neighbors are kind and friendly. We are in a great school district and live close to a couple of parks, trails, and libraries.

Princess for a Day
March 07, 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.
