Janet Farrand of Long Valley is president of Foster and Adoptive Family Services. She’s been active with the organization for more than 20 years. As founder of the Fostering Wishes for Children program, part of Foster and Adoptive Family Services, more than 1,200 wishes were granted, allowing children the little extras in life such as art or music lessons or items needed to attend a prom. She also supports the organization’s Camp Scholarship program that treats children in foster care to a week at sleep away camp. Farrand is a driving force in the creation and passing of the Tuition Waiver Bill that provides eligible foster youth with full tuition to college, university or vocational school. She has had a profound effect on the lives of foster children in the state. In 2011, Farrand was named the Grace Boskey Volunteer of the Year by the Advocates for Children of New Jersey. Farrand and her husband, foster parents since 1989, adopted two children who were in foster care.
