They started with good intentions....
Along with Guardian Ad Litems (GALs), SRS, TFI, some county attorneys, and some judges, several other agencies are working together to keep families apart.
If they work together, putting families together, they wouldn’t have all the money to fill their pockets, so they would rather keep the chldren and keep the money flowing into their organizations and their pockets. This is called GREED, and it makes them wealthy. Their corporations make millions of dollars a year, which is verifiable.
The Farm Family Services (Incorporated), and other organizations, in effect brainwash children through a program called OPPLA, telling children that they are better off remaining in the program, which promises children that college tuitions will paid, independent living arrangements made specifically for them, which consists of teaching them to balancing a checkbook, help with getting their own apartment, teaching them how to cook, assistance in finding a job, housekeeping and other fundamentals of daily living. Children from middle- or lower-income families are persuaded by the government to not go back to their family of origin. Without the emotional support of their own families, these children most often cannot even succeed in their college effort and feel abandoned by everyone

Their History and Mission
1960 -1970TFI Family Services, Inc. (TFI) specialized in long term residential care with the capacity to care for 24 children, often keeping brothers and sisters together. The children learned to fish, swim, ride horses and appreciate all aspects of living on a family farm while attending public schools and a local rural church. TFI’s support came from the Jaycees and the Elks’ organizations.
1980’sIn 1985, the founding mother of TFI, Maxine Johnson, passed away. Peggy S. Martin became the organization’s second Executive Director. Kansas Child Welfare began moving toward permanency for children and adoption, with shorter time in residential care. In 1987, TFI moved from its rural setting to Emporia, Kansas, and opened the J-Max Residential Center caring for 12 youth at a time, and in 1989 opened Oakes Emergency Shelter for boys and girls.
1990’sTFI witnessed children completing their residential treatment program with nowhere to go and their shelter youth staying beyond 90 days. This prompted TFI to take action to develop alternative services for their children by securing a child placing agency license with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment in 1990. The organization’s creative and innovative programming gave birth to a 24/7 family foster care sponsorship service, which provided foster families their own supportive case manager. In 1996, Kansas became the first State in the Union to privatize foster care/reintegration, adoption and family preservation. TFI became a significant subcontractor for a variety of family foster care and adoption services. By closing the residential programs, TFI was able to focus on community based program diversification throughout Kansas. The Douglas County Visitation and Exchange Center opened in Lawrence in 1998 and TFI achieved accreditation through the National Council on Accreditation (COA) in 1999.
2000 to PresentTFI entered a contractual relationship to provide case management foster care/reintegration services for the State of Kansas. The no eject/reject referrals to TFI’s contract are the direct results by the courts awarding temporary custody to the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services for out of home care. TFI is responsible to provide case management services to ensure the reasonable safety for a child(ren) in a home like community setting , whether it be a foster care, natural, kinship, relative or adoptive family. TFI has continued to serve as a contractor for the State, providing family preservation, case management and adoption for several contract regions. In 2009, TFI secured its Hague accreditation through COA for international adoption. In the summer of 2011, TFI opened a service office in Kearney, Nebraska.
On July 1, 2011, Michael “Mike” Patrick became TFI’s 3rd CEO, while Peggy Martin became the CEO for Kansas Family and Children, Inc. (KFC). KFC provides marketing, fund development and public policy services for TFI.
