Time and location are still to be determined, but Friday evening May 10, 2019 is tentatively set for our Get to Know Foster Care and Adoption event. This is an opportunity to hear from Foster and adopt families and youth about the experience and how to get involved in the process.
One of our values as an organization is to give an honest look at foster care and adoption, so the event will be exactly that. We are honest about the joys and the struggles, what we do and are asking you to consider is not easy. We believe that despite the challenges that it is worth it. This isn’t a high pressure or high guilt kind of event. We simply want to honestly put the information in front of you so you can make a well informed decision of where you fit into all of this.
For churches, this means Sundays April 28 and May 5 will be your opportunities to talk about local foster and adopt needs in West Michigan and consider how your faith community can respond. The May 10 event will be a perfect follow up for those who want more information on getting involved directly and also for those who would like to support indirectly.
More information will be forthcoming as details are nailed down, so stay tuned for that!
