Our Mission
Our mission is to cultivate nurturing and knowledgeable families to protect and meaningfully enhance the welfare and stability of vulnerable children and their families.
Our History
Families Uniting Families (FUF), led by James M. Schrage and a group of concerned child welfare professionals, was founded on February 20, 2004. FUF was formed as a unique response to provide additional foster families in Los Angeles and Orange Counties; but, more specifically, families who were interested in working with youth 14-21 at a time when most were uninterested due to the extensive needs and volatility of the adolescent youth in the system.

Our Partners and Funders
No donation has been too small. The on-going support from our funders helps us achieve our key goals: maintaining children safe, facilitating stable families and ensuring family well being. Without this crucial support we would not be able to accomplish our work. Thank you to all of our friends & families, individual donors, corporations and foundations for continuing to entrusting us. We could not do this work without every single one of you.
