The North American Council on Adoptable Children (NACAC) annually awards individuals and groups by publicly recognizing their outstanding service and achievements in the areas of adoption and child welfare. AZAFAP is proud to have been presented the award for “Parent Group of the Year” at the 2019 NACAC conference held in Las Vegas.

“Tax Tips for Foster and Adoptive Parents” annual training provides valuable information and insights about the unique requirements of tax preparation for foster and adoptive parents.

AZAFAP is now providing three Family Camp sites annually in the cooler pines of Prescott, Mayer and Williams, AZ where more than 250 children and adults spend each of the weekends playing, networking and spending time with other families who are on the foster care and adoption journey.

Summer means the “Summer Staycations” happen and bring together more than 100 families for a few weekends of fun and sun at local resorts in Phoenix and Tucson.

The annual “Fore Family Fun” event in June at multiple Top Golf venues Phoenix and Tucson brings foster and adoptive families together to connect through a fun family activity.

Recycle Your Bicycle has provided over 11,000 bikes to children and many more toys for those who already have a bike!  This annual event has hundreds of volunteers refurbishing bicycles throughout fall until the big day in December!  We thank the community for their continued donation of bikes.  In 2020 and 2021, brand new bikes were provided due to the pandemic preventing community participation.  We are now collecting bikes in 2022! 

In recognition of National Adoption Month in November, AZAFAP has community groups who lovingly sew handmade quilts for children who have been adopted each year.
