Foster Parents and Adoptive Parents can share photos, videos, documents and create albums. It supports multiple connections between multiple birth parents, adoptive families and foster families.
Adoptive Parents and Foster Parents can upload photos, videos and documents and publish albums to birth parents, from the comfort of their home. ChildConnect also sends alerts for important deadlines through emails or text messages.
Birth parents have easy access to direct, private correspondence with adoptive families. They can instantly view albums and messages from adoptive parents and providers. No more waiting for the snail mail system.

The system is centered on the concept of a Lifebook. These custom Lifebooks contains letters, pictures, documents, and videos that are shared between parties. In addition, the system automatically generates Lifebooks based on the agreements reached between the parties so everyone knows what is due and when. ChildConnect also facilitates confidential communication between the parties, freeing agencies/attorneys from having to be the go between.
