Center for Family Connections (CFFC) is an educational and clinical resource center that specializes in the developmental, structural, and systematic issues related to adoption, foster care, kinship, guardianship, and other complex blended families. CFFC serves individuals and families touched by adoption and foster care, kinship and guardianship, as well as the people with whom they are connected, by offering training, education, advocacy, and clinical treatment. We believe that the need to honor connections is an essential part of family life. CFFC is the only free-standing resource commited to serving families and children whose lives are touched by adoption, foster care, divorce, and other complex family issues. As adoptions increase and as our nation restructures the welfare system, there is an increasing need to provide education, training, and clinical resources to families and professionals.
