At Bringing Families Together, we believe every child deserves a safe, stable, and loving home. During National Foster Care Month, we celebrate the incredible resilience of children and youth in foster care, the unwavering commitment of foster parents, and the strong families formed through fostering, family reunification, and adoption.
What We Do at BFT
Every day, we work hand-in-hand with families and community partners to:
Bring families together through foster care, reunification, kinship care, and adoption (when safe reunification is not possible)
Strengthen families through training, trauma-informed parenting, and continued support for both foster youth and caregivers
Support birth families by helping them develop the tools and skills needed to create a safe, stable home—preventing out-of-home placements and supporting successful reunification
Champion our foster youth by ensuring their voices are heard, their needs are met, and their futures remain bright
Empower foster parents with resources, guidance, and a supportive community—so they can focus on what matters most: loving and caring for the children in their homes
Whether you're fostering for the first time, stepping in as kin, or exploring adoption, you are never alone. Our team walks with you every step of the way.
Why Foster?
There are so many children in Missouri who need a place to call home—even temporarily. From toddlers to teens, these young people need safety, understanding, and compassion. And foster parents are the heart of it all.
This Foster Care Month, we especially want to highlight the critical need for foster parents for teens. Teenagers in foster care are often overlooked, but they deserve love, family, and stability just like any child. Teens can bring insight, connection, and unexpected joy into your home. They're full of potential—they just need someone to believe in them.
💜 Teens deserve love too. And you might be surprised by how much they’ll give back to you.
