Advocacy
We take our role as a united voice for Arizona’s
foster, adoptive and kinship families seriously. Over the past three years we
have made significant progress in ‘sitting at the table’ as important decisions
are made by elected officials and policymakers about issues involving foster
care and adoption.
 | AZAFAP
members have been an integral part of every committee working on the
Governor’s CPS Reform. We continue to provide oversight and follow-up to
committee recommendations. |
| Past DES
Directors have participated in quarterly ‘Discussions with the
Director” that allow foster and adoptive parents to provide direct input to
the decision makers at the Arizona Department of Economic Security.
|
| To
create awareness of Foster Care Awareness month in May, members of the
Association delivered a doll with a true story of a child in the foster care
system to each member of the Arizona legislature to remind them that the decisions
they make impact ‘real children’ in foster care every day.
|
WE HAVE
LONG WAY TO GO!
We welcome your input, suggestions and participation in our activities to
advocate for the children in our care.
Please contact AZAFAP legislative chairman Ron Clanton at
Doveloft1@iglide.net to get involved.
