Each month, Foster Adopt Minnesota partners with local news and print media to feature a Minnesota child or sibling group in need of an adoptive family.  These partnerships are invaluable in helping to find homes for Minnesota children and raising awareness about the need for adoptive families in all Minnesota communities.  Below are our current newspapers partners and their most recent waiting child feature.

Star Tribune

Minnesota’s Star Tribune newspaper features Minnesota Waiting Kids (Minnesota children currently in foster care) in their Variety section monthly.

This Month's Adam's Publishing Group Featured Child

Kaylynne, 10

Kaylynne is creative, brave, and talented. She has a spunky, talkative, funny, laid-back, and helpful personality. Her smile will light up the room. Her honesty and transparency will never leave you wondering.  Kaylynne enjoys being active and loves animals. At the end of the day or on slow weekend mornings, she watches The Pee-Wee Herman Show or Netflix. Kaylynne enjoys doing arts and crafts, singing, and dancing. Her favorite song is “Girl on Fire”. She can be found singing it on car rides, dancing to the music video, and choosing it for karaoke.

When the Minnesota weather is nice, Kaylynne can be found enjoying the outdoors. Her favorite outdoor activities are jumping on the trampoline, swimming, riding bike, and drawing with sidewalk chalk. She recently found a new love for riding go-carts. When the weather is not so nice, Kaylynne enjoys relaxing, watching TV, playing with her dolls, or playing a game with the family. She is an animal lover and enjoys having various animals to play with and take care of. Kaylynne is a great eater and loves just about everything, especially vegetables. Her number one restaurant choice is McDonald’s, especially if it has a play place. One of Kaylynne’s favorite activities is going to the local YMCA after school and on non-school days, especially when they have fun activities planned.

Kaylynne will need to maintain contact with her sibling and other family members.
