The
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is a federal
agency funding state, territory, local, and tribal organizations
to provide family assistance (welfare), child support, child
care, Head Start, child welfare, and other programs relating
to children and families.
Actual services are provided by state, county, city
and tribal governments, and public and private local agencies.
ACF assists these organizations through funding, policy direction,
and information services.
More than 10,000 foster children have been adopted by families since the 2002 launch of the AdoptUsKids Web site which shares pictures and stories of children needing permanent homes. Learn more at http://www.adoptuskids.org/.
