AASK

Making sure every child in foster care has someone who cares deeply about them has been the mission of Aid to Adoption of Special Kids (AASK) since its founding in 1988. We have witnessed the difference a committed, caring adult has in a child’s life. AASK families and mentors know first-hand how the emotional connections of enduring relationships help children heal from the trauma of abuse and neglect, and improve their chances for life-long success.

So that every child has an adult who cares, AASK recruits, trains and supports families building relationships with children through adoption and foster care. We also recruit, train and support adults who serve as mentors and volunteers.
