Our History
AFC is a 501c3 that began in the Fall of 2011 as Adoptive Families Coalition with a mission to resource families with post adoption challenges. More specifically filling a gap in financial assistance for therapeutic treatment not covered by insurance. In our first 10 years we have helped raise over 3 million dollars to find healing for children impacted by trauma and abuse.
Center on Third
The Center on Third was opened by AFC in August of 2018 in Logan, UT. The support center offers art, music, and education classes to strengthen
and empower foster, adoptive,and kinship families. We are dedicated to the holistic support of families with adopted children who demonstrate emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges.




Ten Year Anniversary
We are excited to begin a new chapter in our second decade! We have updated our name and logo to include foster families and our family retreat center. The retreat center is designed to provide a safe and healing environment for year round support and family camp sessions.
