About
Losing a parent, growing up without a mother or father and/or growing up in foster care are some of the most difficult experiences a child can endure. "Parents For Grown-Ups" is a "Bumble-styled" matching app that allows motherless, fatherless and parentless adults to swipe, search for and connect with parent figures and peers who can help to substitute the loss of having that essential presence in a child's life.
Parentless adults make up some of the highest percentages of people with emotional and social disorders and are significantly more likely to be incarcerated and repeat dangerous family cycles.
​
Parents For Grown-Ups seeks to alleviate some of the stresses on social workers, therapists and government entities that become responsible for parentless adults. Users will have access to a unique community of individuals who share similar experiences and can provide guidance and support.
Populations Served
FORMER FOSTER CHILDREN
Foster children ages 18+ who are transitioning out of foster care into adulthood will be able to connect with vetted mentors, peers and parent figures. They will also be able to serve as peers to nurture fellow former foster & parentless children.
