Yesterday Grant Kirsch, Heidi Renee, and myself in person, along with Josh Kroll and Noah Gamill by phone, met with Senator David Niezgodski at the Capitol. Topic of discusssion was SB 398 SUBSIDY NEGOTIATIONS. We are working hard on this issue. I spoke with Senator Jon Ford who will be reaching out to Seantor Niezgodski and Senator Grooms who is the Chairman of the Family and Children’s Services Committee. We also met with Senator Grooms this week. I am a believer that CHANGE IS COMING!
(No promises) We are in the midst of a FOSTER PARENT LEGISLATIVE EVOLUTION!!!

IFAAP CEO Kristi Cundiff speaks at Northside Community UMC.
Pastor Clark Cowden and his amazing congregation for welcoming the IFAAP Clothing Closet into their church. I am so excited for support and future activities at Northside for Foster and Adoptive Children and the families who care for them. Proverbs 16:3 (ESV)
Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
