FAPA is the Foster and Adoptive Parents Association. We're located in Rock County, and service the entire community. We are a non-profit, volunteer organization that assists foster families and adoptive families obtain the services and resources they need to be successful.

FAPA organizes and hosts trainings, seminars, workshops, and family events throughout the year. We help foster parents stay current on their license, and help the community at large with detailed workshops that cover a variety of topics, such as ADD and ADHD, Drug Affected Infants and Children, African American Hair and Skin Care, and much more.

In addition to the more serious side of FAPA, we also offer a lot of fun family events, such as trips to the zoo, our annual FAPA picnic, bowling, pizza night, movie night, Halloween party, and much more.

While 2008 has really been a year of organizing and preparing, we anticipate having one training and one family event each month in 2009. That's not to say there haven't been or won't be events in 2008! Already we've had great responses to our FAPA activities, and look forward to continued success.

More than anything, FAPA serves as a support system, especially for those families involved in foster care. No one knows better than a foster parent the trials and tribulations we deal with on a daily basis. No one can offer better advice or lend an ear to listen than a foster parent who has been there, and done that.

We are always happy to have new FAPA members! To get more information, or ask questions about FAPA, please feel free to contact one of our FAPA members at any time! You can find our phone numbers and email addresses by clicking here. We hold meetings every month-one is an actual FAPA meeting where we discuss upcoming events, how to fill a need in the community and anything else that finds its way onto our agenda. They're held on "even months" in Janesville.

We also hold a FAPA social meeting during the months in between. This is a great opportunity to just chat, vent and get to know other foster parents in the area. They're held on the "odd months" in Beloit.

We offer a variety of committees that are always open to more volunteers. You can be as active as you choose in FAPA....every voice and every opinion matters to us. Our number one objective as foster parents is the safety and well-being of our children currently in our care. Fortunately you can never have too many people that care about our kids so the more the merrier!

We hope to see you at our next meeting!
