When

The next conference will be October 23-25 at

What
is WFAPA doing for me?
WFAPA is a peer and volunteer-based
organization. WFAPA advocates for foster and adoptive parents
by helping to create and support different legislative measures with
our fellow representatives in Madison. WFAPA provides support
for foster and adoptive families through training, networking and, in
the near future, through a new program called FASPP (Foster and
Adoptive Support and Preservation Program). This new program
will provide a direct link with a trained peer who will be able to
provide support and information to you.
WFAPA's conferences bring in educated speakers
who give you ideas on how to handle or better
understand tough issues.
The recent "teen" conferences as part of the fall conference are
reaching out to another generation to help them face some issues and
make decisions in their lives. WFAPA conferences reach a
statewide population, and WFAPA encourages networking amongst foster
and adoptive parents. You never know who might have an
answer for you!
WFAPA also tries to educate the public and
bring a more positive light to foster and adoptive parenting through
stories in different areas of the media (including radio, newspapers,
etc.) and through our quilt which tells the stories of several
children.
I have a question about Medicaid. Who do I call?
The hotline for information about MA is 1-800-362-3002.
Is there assistance to pay for child care?
Please see the Wisconsin Shares Child Care Assistance document from the WI Dept of Children and Families
