Hello from the Madison office! We have a few upcoming happenings to tell you about!
Adult adoptees – WISAPSP invites you to join us Sunday, June 11th for Adoptee Day at the Farm: Mount Horeb hosted by Natural Wisdom Counseling. Come spend the day connecting with other adult adoptees with the support of nature, art, and horses, and find out how this can be a way to strengthen connection with ourselves and with others.
Our Family Fun at Little Amerricka – Sponsored by Jockey Being Family: Marshall event on June 24th filled up very quickly. Contact jessica@wisapsp.org to be added to the waitlist.
Lastly, as mentioned in our spring newsletter, we want to remind you of the upcoming name changes for post-adoption and post-guardianship related support services funded by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families. Beginning in July, the current WISAPSP contract and Foster Care & Adoption Resource Center (FCARC) contract will be brought together under new contracts for a statewide center and several regional centers titled the Wisconsin Family Connections Centers. You will automatically be transferred from the WISAPSP email list to the email list for the Wisconsin Family Connections Centers programming. All of us at Catholic Charities would like to THANK YOU all for your ongoing support through our management of the WISAPSP contract these past four years. We would especially like to thank all those who have participated in our Advisory Boards all around the state. The input, participation, and feedback from our Advisory Board Members and from ALL WISAPSP participants is what has made our program successful (and so much fun!). Just last week, our staff team spent our last official “WISAPSP” meeting reflecting on our time together and acknowledging what we appreciate about and have learned from one another along this journey. We look forward to continued growth together as we recently received word that DCF intends to award us with all 8 Regional Wisconsin Family Connections Centers as well! In short, that means we will continue to be providing supportive groups, events, and case management to anyone impacted by adoption or out-of-home care in Wisconsin. Please reach out to program coordinator, Christy Reppe, if you have any questions - creppe@cclse.org. We are so happy to continue serving and supporting you.
Wishing you and your family a beautiful summer!
