Support Families Thrive and drive a clean car all year for less.

Families Thrive (formerly Children Awaiting Parents) recruits foster and adoptive families for children in the foster care system ages 0 to 21. We temporarily place referred children in a loving home with the goal of returning to a family member. When children cannot return or are waiting for a family, we provide pre-to-post adoption services and work closely with families through the entire process.

Families Thrive offers services and training to our families and skill-building to the children. We host a Wendy’s Wonderful Kids recruiter on staff to find resources for children waiting for a family. With two sites in Rochester and the Finger Lakes, our mission is always to provide children with a kin family connection or find a permanent loving place to belong.
