The Department will be holding two information sessions on
becoming a foster parent. They will be
held on Saturday, April 28th at 10 a.m. and on Wednesday, May 2nd at 6 p.m. The Department is looking for people to fill a wide variety
of roles, including potential foster or adoptive parents, as well as those
willing to provide short-term Respite care to foster children.
Foster parents and Respite care providers play an essential
role in providing temporary, safe, and nurturing homes to children when their
parents are unable to care for them. In
situations where children cannot return to their birth families, foster parents
could become adoptive parents providing forever homes or be a life-long
connection.
For further information, please contact either Brigette
Thompson at (585) 268-9736 or Jennifer Bigelow at (585) 268-9425 between 8:30 a.m.–
4:30 p.m. weekdays.
