                                                            Our Mission

                                                            The Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association is a not-for-profit agency that educates, supports and advocates for foster and adoptive children, youth and families in central Missouri by offering services and partnering with community and governmental agencies to develop healthy and self-sufficient individuals and families.

                                                            Purpose

                                                            1. To bring together foster and adoptive families whose professional knowledge and expertise can orchestrate beneficial change for children and families.

                                                            2. To refocus recruitment, selection, preparation and development of foster and adoptive families in order to produce a pool of professional parents qualified to provide a high level of therapeutic care to abused and neglected children.


                                                            Meetings

                                                            Our TNT (Tuesday Night Training meetings) meets on second Tuesdays of each month at 6:00.  Dinner will begin at 5:30 PM. Then 2 hours of training, which counts towards education credits for foster license renewals. RSVPs are required for dinner and childcare during the meeting.  Donations for child care will be gratefully accepted:)
