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.

IFAAP members Heidi Curtis and Ernie Shearer, along with CEO Kristi Cundiff advocated for Foster Children at the Indiana State Capitol by handing out Paper Angels to State Senators. Foster Children are often referred to as “Paper Angels” because of the large file folders full of paper documents with their name on them. Each Paper Angel had a specific foster child’s initials, age, and length of time the child has been in foster care. Also attached was a verse to the song “Paper Angels” sung by former foster youth and Country Singer Jimmy Wayne. IFAAP Members hoped the Paper Angels would bring awareness to lawmakers of the emotional journey of a foster child.

IFAAP members learned how to make Origami Paper Angels from Northside Community UMC Member Scott Horton. Foster Children are often referred to as “Paper Angels” because of the large file folders full of paper documents with their name on them. Each Paper Angel had a specific foster child’s initials, age, and length of time the child has been in foster care. Also attached was a verse to the song “Paper Angels” sung by former foster youth and Country Singer Jimmy Wayne. The Paper Angels will be passed out to lawmakers at the Indiana State Capitol.
