WELCOME TO FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS OF COLLIN COUNTY, INC SUPPORT SITE

This Support Group was started to help Foster and Adoptive Parents remain Foster Parents. When you foster or adopt it helps enormously to have a support system. Many times friends and family just don't understand what you are going through or why you put yourself through this. As a new Adoptive Parent or about to be Foster Parent, you are welcome to come and attend our meetings while you are still in PRIDE Classes or awaiting your license, private or with CPS. We would love to meet you and welcome you into our family of foster and adoption families. We welcome families from any county or agency! Start meeting other families and build a support system now. It is a proven fact that families that have a support system in place greatly benefit and foster longer.

Foster/Adoptive Parent Meetings are on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, at the Collin County Children's Advocacy Center (address below) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m We offer two(2) hours Training credit at each meeting. Childcare is free, however reservations must be made by the Friday before the meeting. Please refer to the link to make your reservation. To become a member of our Foster Parent Association, please refer to LINKS for an application, member benefits, and dues.

This is going to be a very important meeting!


We will be holding elections for the following positions:

President
Vice President
Secretary

Please do not throw your hat in the ring if you can not do the job.
We have had too many people in the past volunteer for a job and then
have either not shown up at meetings or resigned shortly after being elected.
This is a very important job that should be taken seriously.
The Foster Parent Association is there to support you as Foster Parents and provide
the necessary training hours you need to maintain your license.

We unfortunately do not have a speaker for this months meeting.
The people we contacted to speak either did not get back to us or
could not make this date.

We will have an open forum that not for any questions and or issues you may be having.


Dinner will be provided at this meeting. Please make sure to R.S.V.P to FAPCC2@yahoo.com.
