About Us

Founded in 1988, Childkind has always embraced these fundamental values:

• Children belong in a family.
• Children flourish when part of a loving and nurturing family.
• Children with medical and developmental challenges live best when part of a special and skilled family.

We know that the well-being of children is dependent upon the presence of parenting adults who not only want them, but who are also able to provide the consistent daily care they require. Childkind recruits and supports the extraordinary parents that kids with medical and developmental challenges who are institutionalized or in state custody need.

Real parents do not clock-in at the appointed hour. They do not get into a car and drive to another house. Their home is where the children live. Likewise, the families working with Childkind are not hourly workers who leave the children at the end of a shift. No, the children entrusted to Childkind find their home with our extraordinary parents.

Since our founding, we have recruited extraordinary families for more than 500 special children. We have provided training, ongoing support, advocacy, youth groups, equipment grants, and a wide variety of support services.

These kids have come to us facing a wide range of challenges,including conditions like autism Spectrum Disorders, Battered Child Syndrome, Blindness, Brain Injury, Cardiac Conditions, Cerebral Palsy, Congenital Defects, Deafness, Developmental Disabilities, Diabetes Insipidus, Drug Exposure, Epilepsy, Failure to Thrive, Feeding Tube Dependency, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Hemophilia, HIV/AIDS, Infant Apnea, Profound Mental Retardation, Neurofibromatosis, Organ Failure/Transplant, Oxygen Dependency, Paralysis, PHACES Syndrome,
