If you are a foster, kinship or adoptive parent for a DC child, The Foster and Adoptive Parent Advocacy Center is here to work for you. FAPAC provides training in advocacy skills to help foster, kinship and adoptive parents to become stronger advocates for the children in their homes and to develop a network of peer advocacy in the foster parent community. We provide individual case advocacy for families and have a systemic advocacy agenda directed exclusively at issues identified by our foster and adoptive parent community.
The Foster & Adoptive Parent Advocacy Center (FAPAC) is featured in the 2010/11 Catalogue for Philanthropy as "one of the best small charities in the Greater Washington region." |
| FAPAC is proud of the POST June 18 Father's Day column by Petula Dvorak featuring our fabulous board member Christoper Braman and his beautiful children. We are delighted that Chris was featured and that foster/adoptive parents will get this public recognition on Father's Day.
FAPAC wishes a very happy Father's Day to all our foster, kinship and adoptive dads. |
FAPAC is honored to be one of 10 local nonprofits recently selected to receive a Washington Area Women's Foundation 2010 Leadership Award. The Leadership Awards Program invests in the work of outstanding, emerging community-based organizations that exhibit vision and impact in serving the critical needs of women and girls.

| "FAPAC has provided a safe haven for me as a foster parent to go for support and good advice on many areas that come up while taking the city's children into my home. Just knowing that they are there and the mission that they have established makes me feel so much better about what I do as a foster parent." | | Donna Flenory |
