Latest News
The Adoptive, Kin and Fostering Families Assocation (AKFFA) started life as the APA (Adoptive Parents Association) in 1975. It later became the AFA (Adoptive Families Assoc) when it was pointed out that the name was not inclusive of our children. It’s fitting now, after 46 years, that the AFA members changed its name to AKFFA at the November 2021 Annual General Meeting, to have a name that is inclusive of all our families.
