FosterAdopt Connect Wichita

Just a quick reminder that Sammy’s Saturday is this week…Sept. 26th. Foster, kinship, and guardian families in need of clothing and/or hygiene items can stop by between 11-2.

Wichita FAC truly appreciates the giving of the Sedgwick Co. and surrounding communities; it allows us to help so many families!! If you happen to have any of the following items that we're most in need of, please feel free to drop them off at 356 N. Rock Rd.

🤔 FAC FAQs: What does it cost to foster or adopt?

There is no fee associated with becoming a licensed foster parent. You will have to purchase items such as a fire extinguisher and pay for your medical exam which are necessary to become licensed. Foster parents receive a monthly payment to help cover the cost of the child’s food, clothing, and personal allowance. The first check will not come until a month or so after the child does, so foster parents need enough money in the budget to support their family and the new child/children until the first reimbursement is received.

📣 We're looking for our next KS Family Advocate!

Some of the best support comes from someone who understands both the system and what it means to walk alongside a family through it.

Our K-PARC and KCSN programs support foster, adoptive, and kinship families across Kansas as they navigate the challenges that can come with caring for children and navigating complex systems. We're looking for someone who can meet families where they are, help them find resources and solutions, strengthen their advocacy skills, and be someone in their corner when things get hard.

Lived experience as a foster, adoptive, and/or kinship caregiver is an important part of this role, along with experience working with children and families. A degree in social work or a related field is preferred.

This statewide position offers remote/hybrid flexibility, with travel throughout Kansas and opportunities to connect with families through individual support, retreats, trainings, and outreach.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, we'd love to hear from you!
