Whenever possible, we work to reunite children with their biological families. When reunification isn’t an option, we provide comprehensive pre- and post-adoption services to ensure children and families are supported every step of the way. Our programs include trauma-informed training for caregivers, life skills development for youth, and ongoing support to help families thrive long after placement.

Families Thrive also proudly hosts a Wendy’s Wonderful Kids® recruiter, who focuses on finding adoptive families for children waiting the longest in care.

With locations in both Rochester and the Finger Lakes region, our mission is clear: to help every child maintain ties to kin whenever possible—or to find a permanent, loving family to call their own.
