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

Founded in 2007 by a former foster youth, foster parents, and adoptive parents, the CMFCAA is a community service organization that provides for the needs of foster, adoptive, kinship, and guardianship youth and families.

  • Facilitate communication with the child’s professional team and provide the case manager with timely and accurate documentation, including detailed family genograms, diligent efforts made by the Specialist, family contact information, and identified family supports.
  • Attend all meetings and court hearings, advocating for relative/kin placement.
