Over the past year, the Tennessee Foster and Adoptive Care Association (TFACA) has undergone an exciting transformation. Through in-depth strategic planning and renewed partnership with the Department of Children’s Services, we’ve reimagined how we serve foster families — and that starts with amplifying your voice.

Our New Focus: Advocacy

While TFACA has always supported foster parents, we are now making advocacy our top priority. That means:

Listening to your concerns, ideas, and feedback
Elevating those voices to key decision-makers and legislators
Working with DCS to resolve issues at the regional and state level
Building systems that reflect what foster families really need

Make Your Voice Heard

Use the Digital Advocacy Tool

Where We're Headed

We are proud to unveil new tools and resources as part of this rebranding, including:

Legislative Advocacy Hub

Explore policies affecting foster parents and children in care. Learn what’s happening at the Capitol and how you can influence it.

Submit Feedback or Concerns

Our new Digital Advocacy Tool makes it simple to share a suggestion, raise a concern, or report an issue — anonymously or by name. We’ll help get it to the right people.

Connect With Lawmakers

We make it easy to contact your local legislators with pre-filled messages and advocacy tips.

Get Involved

This rebranding isn’t just a new look — it’s a new way of working with you. Foster parents, kinship caregivers, and community advocates are at the heart of this movement. We want your input. We need your leadership. And we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
