Our Mission
To create an atmosphere where cooperative assessment, continuing education and informed planning work to better meet the needs of adoptive and foster children and their families.
Purpose
1. To bring together foster and adoptive families whose professional knowledge and expertise can orchestrate beneficial change for children and families.
2. To refocus recruitment, selection, preparation and development of foster and adoptive families in order to produce a pool of professional parents qualified to provide a high level of therapeutic care to abused and neglected children.

Meetings
The support group meets on second Tuesdays of each month at 6:30. We spend 1/2 hour discussing old/new business. Then 1 hour of training, which counts towards education credits for foster license renewals. Child care provided at a cost of $2/hr per child.
