Foster Parents Association of Washington State

The Foster Parents Association of Washington State (FPAWS) is a non-profit corporation chartered in 1973 providing support and services to foster families throughout the State of Washington. Our Association has evolved over the years to develop direct support for adoptive, foster and kinship parents as well as initiating legislative action for the betterment of foster and adoptive families. We believe all children are entitled to a safe and nurturing family experience and families choosing to provide such experiences deserve the respect and support of the community.
