Membership in FAC is obtained by completing an online application, paying a membership fee, and having the application approved by the FAC board. Membership is on an annual basis. With the launch of FAC’s new website, members should receive electronic notification in advance of when the next year’s dues must be paid. Membership dues are used to fund educational events and pay for an experienced lobbyist, himself an adoptive father, in Tallahassee who keeps an eye out for any proposed legislation dealing with adoption and facilitates FAC access to legislators in key positions.
