Every foster, adoptive and kinship caregiver has stories. We picked a newborn up from the hospital who came home with nothing but a dirty diaper bag and one scoop of formula. A four year old girl who cried herself to sleep wondering ‘who would take care of her mom.’ A teen who has been in and out of six group homes before he came ‘home’ to us.
The Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents was founded to ensure that the courageous and loving families who care for Arizona’s most vulnerable children can find the support they need to do the best work they can do.
We invite you to share in our work.
$100 will purchase two new pairs of shoes for children going back to school.
