Adopt Colorado Kids began in 2013, and in 2015 the team embarked on a national mission that became America’s Kids Belong with our flagship chapter Colorado Kids Belong.

After serving as foster family helpers for a few years, she and her husband got foster certified in 2020 in order to adopt a teenager who came to one of our I Belong Project shoots. Tracee worked as a foster care recruiter in Larimer County and as I Belong Project Manager.
