Midwest Foster Care and Adoption Association. It's a support group that works with the state to provide continued training. They've had judges, attornies, Gals, DFS supervisors and workers as guests for their meetings. They also provide support services for families such as places to get questions answered, help with hotlines or other parent/child/SW issues. They provide a clothes closet, food pantry and funiture and other things foster parents can use. They also help SWers find parents with openings to take emergency and long term placements. It's run by foster parents.
