Wisconsin has a state-wide foster and adoptive parent association, the Wisconsin Foster and Adoptive Parents Association (WFAPA). Their website is: http://www.wfapa.org. Many counties also have local foster and adoptive parent associations—check with WFAPA for associations in your area. Licensing agencies provide foster parents with ongoing support, guidance and training opportunities. In addition, the Foster Care and Adoption Resource Center (FCARC) provides additional resources such as a lending library, a newsletter, online resources for family and youth including links to other resources and telephone support. Our website is: http://www.wifostercareandadoption.org , and our toll-free telephone number is: 1-800-947-8074.
