BFT's Waiting Children
There is a great need for families willing to be permanent resources for children whose families are unable to reunify. If you are interested in becoming a permanent resource for a child in need, we would love to support you on your journey! Please contact Kim Brown at CarolP@bringingfamiliestogether.com or 314-938-5704.
Bringing Families Together has children waiting for their forever home!
Ronald
Ronald is a friendly 14-year-old boy. A perfect day for Ronald is spent playing outside in the fresh air! This sweet kiddo is appreciated for his kind heart and loves a good game of hide-n-seek or tag. Ronald also loves playing laser tag. If the clouds are out, he likes playing video games and with action figures.

Adoption thru Foster Care Client
We had a visit today from a previous client who was 11 when he came into foster care. He is now a young adult. He had a rough time at first, but a family member stuck with him and adopted him. He came into our office and was doing so well! This young man made it successfully out of care, came in and he gave hugs all around!
Joshua – Private Adoption Client
Bringing Families Together has done just that! They brought my family together. Without them our family would have been lost. our social worker was amazing and put our son’s interests before anything. We owe these wonderful people more than we could ever repay. Thank you so very much for assisting our family in being legally recognized
Aaron – Private Adoption Client
We worked with BFT to facilitate the adoption of our daughter. I can’t think of anything that they could have done to help us that they didn’t do. There were points during our adoption journey that they went far above and beyond what I would have ever expected them to do.
The Leisa Family – Adoption thru Foster Care
In 2006, our family started one adventurous journey with just husband, wife, and 10-year-old daughter team. It’s really an emotional roller coaster, as we learn to love what others may consider the unlovable. We have seen 50+ teens walk through our front door. We adopted one, took guardianship of four, served as kinship to many, and provided respite to countless foster parents. Some stay and some go depending on their life situation, but all chose to stay in contact with us. It really is amazing!
Javier & Amon - Private Adoption
BFT was compassionate, caring and educated us about the whole adoption process. Having a team that guided us through this amazing journey and supported us through ups and downs was so valuable. We 100% recommend them, and we promise you won’t regret it.
Dru & Adam - Two-time Private Adoption Clients
BFT has walked alongside our family through both of our adoptions. They completed our home studies and yearly updates, facilitated our first adoption, supported us through a failed adoption, and completed the post placement visitations for our second adoption. Without their support, I doubt our family would look like it does today. BFT is truly the best! I can talk about how awesome BFT is all day!
