Core values

- **Reducing Time in Foster Care**: The project aims to reduce the time children spend in foster care by facilitating adoptions and providing support services, which aligns with the goal of achieving permanency for children within reasonable timeframes[4].
- **Increasing Adoption Rates**: By providing resources and support, the project makes adoption more appealing to families, which can lead to an increase in adoption rates and a reduction in the number of children awaiting adoption[3][4].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The support services provided help ensure that children remain with their adoptive families and do not re-enter foster care, improving their long-term well-being outcomes[3].
- **Economic Benefits**: Adoptions from foster care, facilitated by the project, save significant public and private funds, estimated to be between $90,000 to $235,000 per adoption[3].
- **Community Well-being**: The project contributes to community well-being by ensuring that children have stable and nurturing families, which is crucial for their educational, emotional, and financial stability[1][4].
