Missouri Alliance for Children and Families is a Limited Liability Company that was created in 1997 when nine of our state’s most highly respected not-for-profit family and child service agencies partnered to ensure every child served is able to grow, succeed and live safely with their family.Our current partner agencies include: Cornerstones of Care; Every Child’s Hope; Great Circle; Missouri Baptist Children’s Home, Child and Families Ministries; and Presbyterian Children’s Home and Services.Soon after its inception, MACF was awarded a contract with Missouri Department of Social Services, Children’s Division, to provide care management and many other vital services to children with severe mental and behavioral health care needs.We seek to heal the hurt for children and families who have experienced abuse and neglect through creative collaboration with our partner agencies, utilizing compassion, high standards and best practices to deliver an innovative system of care.Today, the partner agencies and MACF staff work together to serve over 1,600 children, youth and their families.Our vision is for children and families to thrive and to live safely together by utilizing their own strengths and community resources, which are nurtured and supported through MACF and its partners. When reunification is not possible, we work to find permanent homes through adoption and guardianship. We are committed to ensuring older children have the skills and support they need to be successful in adulthood.MACF is based in Jefferson City with offices in Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Dexter.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents receive a maintenance payment to help cover some of the care costs of raising a child. The rate parents receive varies depending on the child's age and their special needs. Foster children also receive a clothing allowance, covering their medical needs.
The Missouri Department of Social Services website shows you the latest rates.
However, these maintenance payments aren't always enough. Everything from school supplies to toys can cut into that budget. Many businesses and organizations are stepping up to help cover the gaps and assist foster families.
Foster Together provides a walk-in shopping service for foster children free of charge. Kids can find new and like-new clothing, toys, car seats, and more.
Foster parents caring for younger children can look to Nurses for Newborns, which provides health assessments, screenings, education, and more support.
Another valuable resource is respite care, which gives foster parents a break when needed. Respite foster care is a temporary service offered by other trained foster families. It's also useful in the event of an emergency situation.
