Placements
Help approved families hear about appropriate placement needs and respond more easily—without endless rounds of phone calls.
Fosterhood is being designed to make it easier for foster, adoptive and kinship families to hear about placements, get practical help when they need it, and stay connected to a community that understands.
Foster care asks families to navigate placement calls, practical needs, changing schedules and a whole new community—often across disconnected systems and conversations. Fosterhood is exploring a simpler way to bring the family-facing pieces together.
We're currently listening to foster, adoptive and kinship families alongside child-welfare professionals to understand where technology can make the experience more connected without replacing the people, relationships or systems that child welfare depends on.
