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 Star Tribune Featured Children

Jayden, 17

Jayden is a fun, active, and silly youth who enjoys outings and trying new things. He is relational, playful, and can be a jokester. Jayden really enjoys walks through the neighborhood and long car rides while listening to music. Some of Jayden’s favorite snacks include Doritos, Takis, and anything with a little kick to it.

Jayden will need to maintain contact with his birth family and the Hmong community.

The Duluth News Tribune newspaper partnered with Foster Adopt Minnesota in February, 2019.  Minnesota Waiting Kids (Minnesota children currently in foster care) will be featured monthly in their Sunday Pursuits section.
