A Message From The President Of The Board Of Directors
 
As the President of Foster and Adoptive Family Services (FAFS), I am very pleased to welcome you to our website. My husband, Dan, and I have been foster parents for almost two decades.  We feel very blessed because we have two beautiful daughters adopted from the foster care system, and two biological sons.

I am currently serving my fifth term as President of FAFS and remain committed to the mission.  Why?  Because I know that resource (foster and adoptive) parents in New Jersey are well served by FAFS – the leading statewide advocacy voice. 

FAFS is a unique organization because we have committed volunteers and staff working together to meet our mission.  This combination results in a delivery of services that is dynamic and energized.  Our mission is advanced further by the work of our volunteers in their communities through our Volunteer Committees and Morris Affiliate.

There is always a need for more resource parents.  I encourage you to call 1.800.222.0047 to complete an inquiry and become a resource family.  You are needed!

I also encourage you to donate to FAFS.  We offer many wonderful programs to our families and the children they serve; and, donations are always appreciated.

Again, welcome to our website.  Please consider joining us as a member of FAFS.  Anyone who cares about children is welcomed.

Sincerely,

Janet Farrand

P.S.  As an advocate for children and families, I encourage you to call 1.877.NJABUSE, if you suspect a child is being abused and/or neglected.  You may be the only hope that child has.
