Welcome to AZAFAP
The Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents was founded in 2003
to serve the foster, adoptive and kinship families who care for Arizona’s
children. We are all volunteers, and all foster and adoptive parents.
We believe there is strength in numbers, and in speaking with one voice for
Arizona’s foster and adoptive families. Please join us.
Your membership in
AZAFAP includes invitations and member pricing to all Association programs
and events, a bi-monthly e-mail newsletter, ongoing e-mails with information
of interest to foster and adoptive parents, and access to programs and
services we develop throughout the year.
Be the AZAFAP representative in your community. Bring together
families in your local community for support, education and empowerment
through connecting them to the various services provided by the
Association. Check one or more of the areas of interest on our
on-line membership application, or
contact us about how we can work
together.

AZAFAP Mission Statement
The Arizona Association for
Foster and Adoptive Parents is a non-profit, statewide organization that
serves families who adopt children and provide foster and kinship care.
Working in partnership with child welfare professionals and the community,
our purpose is to support, educate, empower and provide a voice for
Arizona’s foster and adoptive families, with the goal of increasing the
well-being and stability of Arizona’s most vulnerable children. |
Did You Know
AZAFAP Newsletters reach over 490 active foster families each month
with information on advocacy, CPS policy changes, and events that benefit
foster and adoptive families!
The Association’s interaction with Arizona’s State Legislators has led to
several changes in statutes pertaining to Child Welfare in our state!
In an effort to empower and resource our members to retain adoptive and
foster families in their communities, AZAFAP helps to launch “extended
family networks” to provide tangible supports such as support groups and
clothing exchanges. |
