We spent 20 hours a week doing admin tasks as foster parents.
When Khalila and I decided to become foster parents, we realized that the tools available to manage the day-to-day tasks were from antiquated. Being in tech, we saw an opportunity to improve the system.
From notebooks for record-keeping to PowerPoint presentations for training, we spent hours every week doing administrative tasks that took away from the time we could be spending with the kids in our care. Our experience led us to believe that there had to be a better way.
Our mission at FosterSupport.org is to empower and support foster and adoptive parents by leveraging technology, data, and platforms to streamline administrative tasks and enhance advocacy and care. We believe that parents' time should be spent with their children, not on paperwork or outdated processes. That’s why we created a platform that transforms the foster and adoption experience for parents.
Our vision is to build a world where every foster and adoptive parent has access to tools that enable them to focus more on caring for their children, while technology handles the complexity of paperwork, reporting, and communication. We aim to create a future where families are supported with innovative solutions and can connect with a community of like-minded individuals to share knowledge and resources.
