Cornerstones of Care, Kansas City MO

INCREDIBLE organization doing God’s work. I’m so thankful that there are such caring and empathetic people making this world a better place.

I would definitely suggest not to go through this agency. The lack of communication is horrible. We switched agencies and it was the best decision. I urge you to really do research and read reviews before going through with them.

I'm a retired licensed social worker from another state and I'm so saddened and appalled to see how this agency takes care of our children. So many people in leadership roles but the actual work is not getting done. A wonderful woman (age 39) that I have known all her life became licensed to be a foster parent. She is single and works full time. She got a call for a 4 year old with no background information until a few weeks after he was placed with her. She found out he had been in 6 other homes and was agressive. Yes he was extremely agressive. Poor little guy had been passed around and around as is the case with many little ones who have trauma history. She tried repeatedly to get him in therapy but the worker never did the paperwork to get it approved. She had him for about 5 months when she felt she was not meeting his needs. He definately needed a two parent home and therapy. (She did get him into a wonderful preschool.) The worker refused to move him for almost 3 more weeks. She felt so much guilt but she had zero agency support! Communication was beyond horrible with the worker. Three months after he left her home, she recieved a letter saying therapy had been approved for him! It's been a year since then and absolutely no phone calls for another child who needed placement. And we all know there are way too many children needing placement than there are foster homes. Later I learned that there is only one worker for her area (suburb of Kansas City MO). I looked on the website and see dozens of leadership people. What are you doing exactly? And this is the best you have to offer our children who have experienced trauma?

They are friendly, neat working environments and providing excellent service Thanks.

Communication is very very bad. All they are worried about is doing a fast job of putting kids back with the one that hurt them. They don't care about the kids Safety.

They lied to me, and lied to me. They aren't what they say. They aren't about helping, or family preservation. I've been trying to adopt my grandauhters
