I was a foster parent for over 30 years. I am now the Region 2 coordinator for Families for Kids. My job is to support caregivers who have children in out of home care. I also support Adoptive , pre-adoptive parents and kinship providers. I attend any meeting that you feel you need someone to be with you. I believe caretakers need all the help they can get. I don't always have the answers , but will do my best to find out what you need to know.
Please feel free to contact me at any time (I work nights and weekends also),with any problem or just to vent. My phone number is 509-969-8554.
I have worked with FPAWS for many years and find that they are there for caergivers and are doing a good job to try to change the system to support and find resources for them. Please join and support them! I feel that we need to join together to be heard with a loud voice to those who make the decisions for our children. The more members we have the more those in charge will listen.
