WE MAKE COMPATIBLE CONNECTIONS—FAST.

Family-Match is a connecting technology that creates a streamlined child placement pathway for everyone involved in fostering and adoption. The platform leverages data to connect children with compatible families who can best meet the unique needs of kids in care.

OUR VISION

We empower people to create connections to achieve a reality in which every child is rooted in family.

OUR MISSION

We exist to equip people working in foster care and adoption with technology and data-based insights—prioritizing the child’s needs, accelerating family recruitment and child-family matching, and connecting children and families with higher placement success rates.

OUR CORE VALUES

Commitment

We don't quit.

Our mission and vision drive us to work hard on behalf of children nationwide, meeting their deep needs for acceptance in a loving family environment. We believe change is possible and relentlessly strive to advance better outcomes for children in foster care.

Innovation

We keep improving.

Our world-class team of researchers, data scientists, developers, social workers, and recruitment gurus have developed a game-changing, proprietary matching system that focuses on family-child compatibility. We’re proud to provide the most effective technology in today’s recruitment and adoption space.

Partnership

We don’t work alone.

Collaboration enables us to dynamically transform the recruitment and child placement process. Our mission succeeds because of intentional relationship with agencies, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, child advocacy groups, families, and donors.

Learning

We are continually learning.

We prioritize educative dialogue in the adoption and foster community. Feedback from children, parents, professionals, and sponsors is always welcome—because understanding industry challenges will ultimately help us build a better tool.
