Meet Arizona’s Children- Adoption |
| Description: |
The Lodestar Family Connections Center is partnering with DES to offer Meet Arizona's Children. This is an opportunity for adoptive families to get involved in the matching process at an earlier stage. Families that attend will see video presentations of children who are in need of a forever family and case managers or caregivers will be there to answer your questions. Families can then fill out a form so that the child's case manager is notified directly that they are interested in more information. The children presented will be legally free for adoption. If you are a certified adoptive parent currently waiting for a child or children in your home, then please call Amy at 602-930-4433 to register to attend. Limited child care will be available! Registration is required and space is limited so call soon! |
