Foster Care & Foster Care Adoption Info Meeting

Event Details

Bethany Christian Services believes that every child deserves a loving home, and your family can help be a part of that important mission! We’ve found that most people considering foster care have some big questions running through their mind, like:

How much does foster care cost?

Who will support me?

What does the ideal foster parent look like?

Have you also wondered what it takes to be a GREAT foster parent? There may not be just one right way to be a foster family, but there are certain factors that can help every family become stronger for the children in their care. In particular, there are 5 Protective Factors that can help guide your readiness and planning to be become a foster parent at Bethany. These factors include parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting & child development, concrete support in times of need, and social & emotional competence of children.

Feeling ready to take that first step and learn even more? Attend our Foster Care & Foster Care Adoption Orientation meeting by registering here or contacting Becky Velthouse at  [email protected]. During this meeting, we'll describe the current need for foster families in our community, what to expect in terms of caring for children in domestic and transitional foster care, and the foster home licensing process. The meeting will also discuss and introduce foster care adoption. We hope to see you there!  If this time doesn't work for you, email Becky at [email protected] at a time that works for you.
