Connecticut Alliance of Foster and Adoptive Families is a statewide nonprofit organization providing training, advocacy, and support services to foster and adoptive parents in Connecticut. Each year, CAFAF hosts the “Avenue of Dreams,” where foster and adopted teen girls can enjoy a prom inspired day with their foster, adoptive or legal moms. The girls are provided with free makeovers and select from an array of dresses, shoes and accessories. Also, the girls attend a motivational workshop about fulfilling their dreams. At the end of the event, each girl receives a portrait, taken by a professional photographer and a gift bag filled with new makeup, hair and body products.
