Moms Adopting Moms is based out of Athens, Georgia and has been taking referrals from three county Department of Family and Child Services offices since September of 2024. These counties are Jackson, Clarke and Oconee. We plan to serve the remaining counties of region 5 and several select counties from region 2 by the end of 2026. Our goal as an organization is to build a replicable partnership parenting model that can be rolled out in other counties across the state of Georgia before moving nationwide.
The mission of Moms Adopting Moms (MAM) is to offer advice, encouragement, mentorship, and resources to biological moms (and dads when possible) who are doing everything in their power to reunite with their children and thrive post reunification.We begin by creating and maintaining a relationship between the bio parent and a peer mentor parent that has been in their shoes before. These mentors have had their children taken away by the Department of Family and Child Services but have since been reunited. These mentors have also been addicted to one or more mind altering substances and are now in long term recovery. All of our mentors find their greatest calling in life is to help other parents in similar situations achieve the freedom and the hope they now feel.
Secondarily, we help support a loving and nurturing relationship between the biological and foster moms. By asking the foster family to "adopt the whole family" instead of just the children, we ensure children will remain connected to their biological families, experience less trauma, biological parents will receive "forever" support, and foster parents won't have to grieve the loss of the children they have grown to love upon reunification. It's a win, win, win for everyone involved.

Moms Adopting Moms partners with a variety of organizations and businesses in our community to provide comprehensive A-Z assistance and resources to our clients in their local area. This includes detox and rehabilitation centers, food banks, clothes closets, counseling offices, work placements, training colleges, childcare options, transportation assistance, and housing referrals. We want to ensure our clients success through offering this ordered sequence of events bio parents must take to complete their case plan, achieve reunification, and thrive as a family.
Our vision is to make the reunification process easier and remind bio parents they are not alone. With these curated plans we aim to alleviate the amount of work for case workers and foster parents so they have time to provide the care, encouragement, and support each case desperately needs.
We imagine a time when life is easier for everyone involved in the foster care process. We imagine a day when this crisis has ended and the system is no longer broken. We imagine a day when case workers aren't overwhelmed, foster parents aren't ready to throw in the towel, and biological parents aren't asked to achieve the impossible or
We imagine a time when life is easier for everyone involved in the foster care process. We imagine a day when this crisis has ended and the system is no longer broken. We imagine a day when case workers aren't overwhelmed, foster parents aren't ready to throw in the towel, and biological parents aren't asked to achieve the impossible or are faced with losing their children forever.
Embracing the future of AI, we are working on developing a responsive and collaborative app to generate digital A-Z plans of action to assist families in crisis. We are actively collecting data relevant to foster care and family preservation and consulting with capable teams to begin working towards this dream. We hope to develop a model that is easy to replicate nationwide to streamline the entire foster care process. Starting as early as from the identification of a family at risk, to those who already have children in the system. This ensures families are helped faster, kids are returned quicker, and families are no longer at risk.
Other aspects of service we would like to explore in the future are introducing legal assistance services for parents seeking guidance as well as addressing the severe lack of transitional housing available to parents in need - especially in the Athens area
