United Methodist Family Services Of Virginia

In our Treatment Foster Care (TFC) program, we support foster children and teens who have faced trauma, abuse, or medical and behavioral challenges by connecting them with dedicated foster families. We provide extensive training and ongoing support to ensure our 100 state-wide families offer the stability and care these children need. As a result, our foster parent utilization and retention rates remain high. And the impact is profound-87% of foster youth report feeling satisfied with their treatment, and more than 60% transition into a permanent family setting or adoption.

UMFS PROVIDES A RANGE OF ADOPTION SERVICES. Adoptive parents take on an incredible journey-one filled with love, resilience, and challenges. Children and teens who have experienced foster care, private, or international adoption often carry deep emotions that require patience, understanding, and expert support. That's where UMFS steps in. Our adoption social workers, therapists, and adoptive parent liaisons empower families with the skills and resources needed to foster trust and stability. Our extensive expertise in foster care and adoption connects families with the right people, programs, and tools for success and we offer 24/7 crisis support. Last year our adoption team served 400 youth and families, and finalized 49 adoption cases. Additionally, our parent and caregiver NPS score is +95, well exceeding industry standards.

Additional services include community-based family support, case management, mentoring and post-adoption services.
