Coffee & Conversation
We are hosting an in-person Informational Meeting on Tuesday, April 7th from 6:30-8:00pm at The Grind Coffee Bar (124 N. Court Street, Medina).
We'll provide some basic info, hear from a panel of foster parents, and have plenty of time for conversation and Q&A.
Whether you're seriously considering fostering or just exploring the idea, this is a great place to start. No pressure. No commitment. Just information and conversation.
Come sip, learn, and connect.
Registration is requested, but not required.

Knowledge is Power
We know. You're not sure. You are interested in learning more about what it takes to be a foster parent, what to expect, what to think about.
Maybe you're very interested but just have a few questions. Maybe the idea has just crossed your mind and you are nowhere near being ready to commit.
Or maybe you're somewhere in between. Join us for our monthly informational seminars. They are held online, making them convenient, confidential and efficient.
We'll cover the topics below in less than 30 minutes, with plenty of room for questions and answers if you have them. Click here to Register and we'll send you a link to join.

The Joys of Being a Foster Parent
Everyone knows that being a parent is not "rainbows and unicorns". Its the same with being a foster parent.
Yet, there can be so much joy, fulfillment and lifelong impact that comes from being a foster parent. Not just for you, but for every foster child who is provided a home, a family, and a chance.
This video is unscripted, unrehearsed, raw, and real. We asked the questions of our foster parents that you might ask. These are their stories. We hope it inspires you to learn more about becoming a foster parent.
