Foster, Adoptive, and Relative Care Support Groups
Foster Parent and Family Care Support Groups are an invaluable resource available to foster parents as they care for the foster, adoptive, or relative care children placed in their home. Support groups are free, meet monthly, and are open to all licensed foster parents, foster/adoptive parents, and those interested in becoming a foster or adoptive parent. Training hours and childcare may be provided. Check with the group facilitator for more information.
