BFP works in conjunction with IMPOWER, who provides overlay adoption case management services to achieve permanency for children who have been permanently removed from their home and reside in foster, relative, or kinship care.<\/p>\n<p>The agency\u2019s adoption goal for the year was a target of 77 adoptions finalized between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 and was met in January 2018. Several agencies within Brevard worked collaboratively to identify unique ways to help find permanency for the youth, including child-specific recruitment events, mentor families for older youth, participating in permanency round tables, and locating biological families that had previously lost their rights and engaging them to allow for potential placement as a non-relative.<\/p>\n<p>The IMPOWER adoption team is comprised of Dana Whitson, Adoptions Supervisor, Tina Reina, Adoption Support Coordinator, Steve Glywasky, Adoption Support Coordinator, and Zachary Reichert, Community Adoption Liaison. The team works alongside Brevard Family Partnership\u2019s Director of Intake, Jessica Ayala, and Staff Attorney, Patrice Grier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To learn additional information about providing a \u201cforever home\u201d for children in foster care system, please call Brevard Family Partnership at <strong>(321) 752-4650<\/strong> or visit www.fpocf.org.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>About Brevard Family Partnership<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Established in 2003 as a non-profit organization in response to the Legislative mandate to privatize foster care and related services in Florida (Section 409.986, Florida Statutes), Brevard Family Partnership is Brevard County\u2019s lead child welfare agency.
