The Story of ALIGN Foster Care​

At ALIGN Foster Care, we believe in the power of working together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of youth. Our name, ALIGN, was inspired by the Pororoca, a powerful wave that forms in the Amazon River during the equinox. This wave happens when the sun, moon, and earth align perfectly, creating a force so strong it changes the river’s tides and reshapes its flow. This idea—alignment creating transformative change—is at the heart of what we do.

​

In foster care, there are three key forces that must come together to support a youth and help them find their way forward: the youth, the agency, and the state.

• The Youth is at the center of our work. Every youth we serve has their own unique story, potential, and dreams. Our mission is to help them navigate challenges and create a path toward stability, healing, and a brighter future.

• The State provides the foundation by ensuring systems and resources are in place to protect youth and offer them opportunities for growth, safety, and success.

• The Agency, that’s us, wraps around the youth and their foster family with comprehensive, individualized support. This includes therapy, medication management, mentoring, family consulting, and working closely with foster families to meet the unique needs of each youth. Whether their journey leads them back home to their biological family, to kinship care, to adoption, or to independent adult living, we are there to guide and support them every step of the way.

​

When these three forces—youth, agency, and state—align, amazing things can happen. Just like the Pororoca changes the flow of the river, this alignment can change the course of a youth’s life. It creates a wave of forward momentum, helping them move toward stability and their next chapter—whether that’s returning home to their biological family, finding kinship care, transitioning to adult living, or finding a forever family through adoption.

At ALIGN Foster Care, our mission is to bring these forces together to help youth and families succeed. Through wraparound services like therapy, mentoring, medication management, and family consulting, we provide the tools and support needed to help them heal, grow, and thrive.

​

ALIGN isn’t just a name—it’s a commitment to collaboration and making a difference. When we align, we can change the tides of a youth’s life, opening up new possibilities and helping them move forward with confidence and hope. Together, we can create a future full of opportunity for every youth we serve.
