Information Sessions

Thinking about fostering or adopting? We’d love to meet with you! We warmly invite you to attend an upcoming group info session. These sessions are held conveniently over Microsoft Teams, at a time that fits your schedule. You’ll meet one of our staff members and have the opportunity to ask questions. We’ll walk you through how to become a foster or adoptive parent, what to expect from the process, and how our team supports you every step of the way.

We believe that no family should walk this journey alone. From your very first conversation with us, you’ll experience the warmth, guidance, and encouragement that make our community so special.  And best of all, we recognize that opening your home to children in foster is a big step so there is never any pressure to take it!

The following dates are scheduled for the summer of 2026:

  • Wednesday, June 17 - 12-1 pm
  • Wednesday, July 8, 7-8 pm
  • Friday, July 17, 12-1 pm
  • Tuesday, August 18, 7-8 pm
