Thanks for Helping Us Save Money and Conserve Resources!
As part of the MCFPA's efforts to reduce costs and make distribution of information more efficient for our families, a Yahoo! Group has been established to post and distribute information electronically. The response to our requests to have users sign up with this service have been very positive, but we believe that we can get even more people to "go paperless" and receive information more quickly and efficiently! Please visit our Yahoo! group website at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mcfpa and click on the Join this Group! button. If you've never registered with Yahoo! groups before, you'll need to do that. Once you've joined the group, you'll be notified of new postings and be able to post your own questions and concerns to share with other subscribers. The group postings and membership are carefully monitored and the e-mail addresses are never shared with anyone.
Don't Forget About Online Training from FAFS!
Need more training hours for licensing? Give
online training a try! Foster and Adoptive Family Services (FAFS)
offers a number of online (e-learning) courses that count towards your
in-service training requirements.

Morris County DYFS Now Has TWO Local Offices
In response to increases in child abuse and neglect referrals, as well as the desire to use resources and serve families more efficiently, Morris County's Division of Youth and Family Services opened a second local office at 164 Speedwell Avenue in Morristown on June 12, 2007.

Resource Parent Honorarium Increased!
Effective May 1, 2007, the honorarium provided to
resource parents who recruit other families will increase from $100 for
regular homes and $150 for boarder baby placements to a flat rate of
$200. Resource parents who recruit other families are entitled to
this honorarium when the home they refer becomes licensed. Resource
parents who qualify for the honorarium will receive the new rate for
homes licensed after May 1st.

In addition to this website, we also host a newsgroup in Yahoo! Groups, which we hope to use as a distribution method for interested subscribers, for articles of interest, topical discussions and more. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mcfpa and subscribe today!
