About Us
 
UFOSTERSUCCESS is dedicated to improving the lives of our family in foster care.

On June 27, 2003 uFOSTERsuccess was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of Utah.  uFOSTERsuccess received our letter of determination from the IRS confirming that we are a 501c3 nonprofit organization on January 12, 2005.

 
uFostersuccess
The name uFOSTERsuccess comes from our living testament that through perseverance and responsibility foster alumni and youth can be successful with the key ingredient being that you-foster-success.
 
 
Our group believes that one of the most effective ways of assisting youth is to educate the public regarding foster care issues. Foster care can be an ugly word for some and it generally deals with very tough issues that derive from families. This makes it a very controversial issue that most people would rather avoid.

The focus of our group is not to determine when youth should or should not be removed from a home. However, our group is actively involved in what happens once youth arrive in the foster care "system." If we as a society are going to remove youth from their homes then we as a society do everything possible to make sure we bring them into a better environment than from where they came.

You will find that we are a diverse group of people with diverse opinions but united in our purpose of improving the lives of our family in foster care.
