AASK's mission is to build and strengthen families for children. We have upheld the values of integrity, creativity, respect, accountability, collaboration, hope, excellence, and listening while being true to our vision to be Arizona's leader in adoption, foster care and support services for families and children with special needs. The children we place often possess developmental delays and behavioral challenges stemming from abuse, neglect, abandonment or exposure to drugs or alcohol prior to their birth. Placement of these children may also be more challenging if they are older, a member of an ethnic minority or part of a sibling group that wishes to remain together. AASK is the only agency in Arizona whose sole mission is to find and support home for these children. AASK annually places more children in Maricopa County than nearly all other agencies combined.
