Our Goals: Educate and support foster/kinship care/adoptive parents and the professionals who serve them by utilizing information-sharing, services, peer support and referral. Improve services available to children and families. Increase citizen involvement in local service planning and delivery. Educate leaders and stakeholders about the realities, challenges and rewards of foster/kinship care/adoptive parenting.
