Colorado Kids In Foster Care Are All Of Our Responsibility

4,357* Kids In Colorado Are In Foster Care Right Now

Imagine being 10 years old and being awakened in the middle of the night by a stranger…

who tells you in a gentle, yet unfamiliar voice, that you must leave home, due to a crisis that has nothing to do with you. And then in the midst of this turmoil you and your siblings are separated and placed in different homes.

This story has repeated itself in some form in the lives of 4,357 kids in our state over the past year.

Could Your Silence Really Mean No To Kids In Foster Care?

AKB’s CEO Todd Kinzle and Colorado’s State Manager Tracee Rudd share their personal journeys from caring about kids in foster care to caring for kids in foster care.

Meet the Kids

Nationwide nearly one-quarter of kids in foster care are legally free for adoption.
Our I Belong Project is a video storytelling initiative that gives kids a face and a voice and helps connect many of them with loving, forever families.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey to foster, a seasoned foster parent considering adoption or simply someone with a heart for vulnerable kids, we invite you to meet, listen to and see some of the amazing kids right here in our community in need of adoptive families.
