FACES of Virginia Families Brighter tomorrows for children… begin today with families!

Hi, there… we are looking forward to meeting you!

Our Mission We provide support and a unified voice for families raising children through foster care, adoption, or kinship care so that these children are treated with dignity, respect, and equality.

Join us in our many celebrations of family !

F AMILY FACES of Virginia Families: Foster, Adoption, and Kinship Association believes that all children who have faced abuse, neglect, or abandonment are best raised by full-time, stable, nurturing families. We do believe that children may occasionally need more intensive services for challenges that require intensive hospital or residential care, but these children deserve families that remain connected to them throughout any course of treatment. Children should be raised in family homes!

We LOVE meeting new families!
