The Section on Adoption and Foster Care, founded in 2000, is dedicated to improving the health and well being of children in foster care and those who have been adopted. The Section also offers input to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Board of Directors on adoption and foster care issues and works with the AAP Committee on Early Childhood, Adoption and Dependent Care (and other committees) to provide input on official Academy policy. The SOAFC was also a driving force in the formation of the new AAP Task Force on Foster Care, charged with raising the awareness, knowledge, and skills of pediatricians and their collarborative partners to improve the health and well being of children and youth in foster care.

The section has grown to over 200 members since its inception and continues to increase. SOAFC Membership is open to all Fellows and Residents of the AAP. Affiliate membership is available to international (physician) members and allied health professionals, including physicians' assistants, NPs/LPNs, RNs, speech and language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, psychologists, social workers, and educators involved in providing care to and/or researching health issues related to foster care and/or adoption of infants, children and adolescents, and who are interested in contributing toward the objectives of the Section.

Come share your professional goals and expand our mission; become a Member of the AAP Section on Adoption and Foster Care!
