Support Groups
Being a foster and adoptive parent is very rewarding, but the truth of the matter is it can be very challenging. It’s important for families to find support among others who understand the adversities of caring for children who are not their own. We offer a safe space for parents to express themselves without being judged. New and veteran foster and adoptive parents share their personal experiences and offer advice and guidance to those who need it. Our support groups are parent-led and opened to families with children placed in their homes by Child Protective Services and those who have adopted. The location and times are to be announced.
