Foster & Adoptive Parent Advocacy Center (FAPAC)

The founding reason for FAPAC's existence, systemic advocacy is at the very heart of all our work. FAPAC's system advocacy is based upon our vision of strong prevention programs to keep families intact; high quality, well- trained and supported foster family placements when children do need to come into care; serious efforts towards reunification and other permanency; and meaningful and effective post permanency services to support children and families and keep them stable and healthy. Our systemic advocacy agenda is framed by the real and current experiences of our families as well as our own expertise. Utilizing our model that links advocacy and partnership, our systemic work includes advocacy for policies, practices and legislation that
