Foster and Adoptive Parent Association
“We Work for You”
Dear Caregiver:
Please register for the 2008 IFAPA/DCFS Caregiver
Conference! On behalf of the Illinois Foster and Adoptive
Parent Association (IFAPA), it is my privilege to encourage you
to attend this important training conference. We are so happy
to collaborate with DCFS and other community partners in
presenting this conference!
We must all continue to develop our skills as we work
together, while “Bringing Unity to Illinois Caregivers”. Take
advantage of the broad range of training sessions offered during
the conference. One workshop in particular, although all are
important, is for Adoptive and Guardianship parents, presented
by Dana Corman. Caregivers will learn about the Family Matters
Program, a pilot program in Illinois to assist families with
back up guardianship plans for your child (ren). The conference
planning committee has scheduled a number of special events you
will want to take advantage of; and take time to network with
one another.
When you attend, we invite you to consider becoming an IFAPA
member – stop by our exhibit and introduce yourself. We are
anxious to meet you and to have the opportunity to share our
Illinois Foster and Adoptive Parent Association goals with you.
We meet five times per year, and we offer many leadership
opportunities through our board and committees.
In conclusion, be aware that Friday evening we will have an
Adoption Celebration kick off, and Saturday evening we will have
a dinner and dance with some of the Lawmakers and Judges of
Illinois!
Thank you for taking time to consider attending our training
conference. We welcome you as our guest.
Sincerely,
Gladys Boyd, President
Illinois Foster & Adoptive Parent Association |
