TO THE ADOPTION PROCESS AND THE FOSTER-TO- ADOPT PROGRAM

January 8th

6:00-7:00 PM

Have you inquired about our Heart Gallery Children?

Are you interested in the process, but not quite ready to make the 1st step?

Are you curious about fostering an older child, with the potential to adopt?

Have you considered mentoring a child?

Please join us for an introduction to the above. We would like to provide you with the information you need to get started and explain the difference between fostering and adopting, and the children in need. This is a great opportunity to just meet us and ask any questions you may have, before making the commitment to start the process. Please bring as many of your friends and family that would provide you support, should you choose to bring a new child into your life. We would love to meet them as well and address their concerns and questions! Please RSVP by emailing: brigette@afamilyforeverychild.org . Hope to see you there!
