Advocacy

The Adoptive and Foster Parent Association of Georgia provides all foster parents, not just association members, advocates to help address issues with the Division of Family and Childrens Services. Support of an advocate is a right you have by law under the Foster Parents Bill of Rights.  If you need help, call the AFPAG Advocacy Hotline at 1-877-804-6610.

The following forms represent the three levels of the grievance procedure.  If you are unable to resolve an issue through communication with your local county DFCS office, and you feel that there is a grievable issue, you can begin the Grievance Procedure by filing a Form 80 at Level One.  If there is still no satisfactory resolution, then you may continue with Form 82 at Level Two.  Finally, as a last resort, you may file Form 84 at Level Three.  Please refer to your Foster Parent Handbook for details on the Grievance Procedure and a list of grievable issues, or contact an AFPAG advocate.
