“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”

– Fred Rogers

WFAPA membership is open to all foster and adoptive parents, kinship caregivers, and anyone who cares about the well-being of foster and adoptive families and the children they serve.

Fostering Love

Grover “Danny” Garrett recently wrote a song called “The Stepping Stone Family.” The song was written to recognize those families and the very real part they play in a child's life.​

He and his wife spent seven years as foster parents, and that experience has stayed with him long after the children who came through their home moved on. He is trying to get this song into the hands of foster parents, foster families, caseworkers, and others who understand what it means to love and care for a child—even when you know that child may only be part of your family for a season.
