This announcement was posted by the Michigan Foster and Adoption Parent Association on December 3, 2003.

The Michigan Foster & Adoptive Parent Association is saddened to inform you of the need to temporarily suspend services. The suspension of services will commence December 15, 2003. The need to make this decision is made as a result of the end of MFAPA’s contract with the Family Independence Agency. Therefore MFAPA will not be able to provide trainers and materials for pre-service PRIDE and specialized trainings. There will be no reimbursement for mentoring. All technical assistance to support groups will end. Communication through the Hot-Sheet, newsletter, website and resource and referral will be severely limited. MFAPA regrets any inconvenience this lack of funding may cause you or your agency.

I will continue this Hot Sheet as long as possible but please use the email address of lescher@wmis.net only. Please do not use gilbertc@mfapa.org.
