Foster care and adoption software

from people who speak your language.

For 19 years, SAM has partnered with independent agencies who need complete records and compliance tools while working your way. We adapt to your workflows so caseworkers focus on families, not scattered files.

See How SAM Works

Stop Searching. Start Serving.

Foster care and adoption agencies have traditionally managed case information across scattered emails, filing cabinets, and disconnected spreadsheets.

•       Finding a single document means searching multiple systems.

•       Audit preparation demands hundreds of staff hours.

•       The result: agencies spend more time managing information than serving families.

 SAM brings complete records into one accessible system.

Built for Foster Care. Built for You.

SAM is the only case management platform built exclusively for foster care and adoption agencies, giving you complete records, audit-ready compliance, and support from people who understand your work, without forcing you to change how you work.

That means:

  • COMPLETE RECORDS - Every detail about children, birth parents, and families in one accessible place

  • YOUR WORKFLOWS - SAM adapts to mirror how your agency works, using your language and your processes—not generic templates

  • AUDIT-READY COMPLIANCE - AFCARS reporting, licensing tracking, and audit preparation in minutes, not weeks

  • REAL PEOPLE - Support from people who've worked in foster care and adoption rather than generic IT help-desk scripts

  • A COMMUNITY - Weekly open calls where agencies solve problems together

Why Agencies Choose a Specialist

Most case management software is built for large government systems or generic nonprofit operations.

Foster care and adoption agencies operate differently.

You manage long-term relationships across children, birth parents, foster families, adoptive families, and licensing staff. Your records must remain accessible for a lifetime.

SAM was built specifically for that work.

Our team focuses exclusively on foster care and adoption agencies. That focus means the platform understands the structure of cases, the language agencies use, and the compliance requirements they face.

The result is software that fits the way you work instead of forcing you to adapt to it.

What adoption and foster care agencies,

and social workers, have to say about SAM:

  • One of our social workers attended a meeting with county workers and when the group needed supporting data, she pulled out her phone and accessed SAM. The group was amazed by the real-time data and reported they were jealous of the speedy access!

    — Heather Bollier Yetter, Stanford Sierra Youth & Families

  • “It is so easy to navigate which makes it easy to train new staff!”

    — Jessica B, Adoption Coordinator

  • “We have coordinators out of state who never come into the office. This software helps us keep everything organized and allows us to share important information in a secure way.”

    — Hannah W, Office Manager

  • “We are virtually paperless.”

    — Rick G, Past President at Family Works

  • Our employees have embraced SAM and truly appreciate the availability of real time information. The tools are easy to use, robust, and have become staples of our daily life. We strongly recommend SAM!

    — Steve Smuk, North Homes Children & Family Services

  • “I love that they understand our work and are able to talk through what the agency needs to assist in streamlining processes and collecting data.”

    — Katie P, Executive Director

Modern Tools Without Losing What Makes Your Agency Work

Many foster care and adoption agencies hesitate to change systems for a simple reason: the work is too important to disrupt.

Caseworkers already carry heavy responsibilities. Directors cannot risk losing records or creating confusion during an audit cycle.

SAM was designed with those realities in mind.

Agencies configure the platform to mirror their existing workflows.

Staff continue using familiar terminology and documentation structures while gaining the visibility and organization that modern systems provide.

The result is modernization without disruption.

Bring your agency’s records into one place.

Foster care and adoption agencies shouldn’t have to manage critical records across scattered systems. SAM brings the complete record for children, birth parents, and families into one accessible platform so caseworkers spend less time searching for information and more time serving families.

If you're exploring how to modernize your systems while preserving how your team works, we’d be glad to show you how SAM works.
