We are please to announce that NACAC, which works to meet the needs of children waiting to be adopted, has selected FAPAC to receive NACAC's 2012 Parent Group of the Year Award.
Executive Director of NACAC Joe Kroll said, "It is an honor to recognize FAPAC for the wonderful work you do on behalf of foster, adoptive, and kinship families. Families in DC are so incredibly fortunate to have a support system like yours in their presence. Your commitment to serving families is truly inspiring."
The award will be presented at NACAC's annual conference, to be held this year July 26-28 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. The spring issue of NACAC's newsletter Adoptalk will feature FAPAC alongside other NACAC honorees. NACAC is based in St. Paul, Minnesota.
FAPAC would like to thank NACAC for the 2012 Parent Group of the Year Award. We deeply appreciate the recognition of our efforts to improve conditions, policies, and opportunities for foster, kinship, and adoptive parents so all children in the child welfare system can receive the best possible care.
Native Washingtonian Marilyn Egerton cannot remember a time when she wasn't singing. She sings gospel, classical, jazz, and R&B and her passion for performing has taken her all over the world.
Marilyn's other passion is taking care of young people in need, and she and her husband have fostered at least three dozen children and adopted four. With the release of the Marilyn's new jazz cd What About the Children she combines her love of music with her love of children, to benefit the Foster and Adoptive Parent Advocacy Center, where she serves as Deputy Director.
What About the Children is available for a donation of $25 to FAPAC. To learn more about the cd or to order, click here.
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.
