Orientation Meeting for Future Foster and Adoptive Parents Feb. 7

OSWEGO COUNTY – Oswego County Department of Social Services (DSS) hosts another virtual information meeting for potential foster and adoptive parents from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7.

“Residents can make a difference in the life of a young person by participating in foster or adoptive care,” said Oswego County Legislator Michael Solowy, chairman of the Human Services Committee. “With dozens of local children and teens in need of love and support, we encourage people to help us raise awareness about this critical issue and share this information with friends and family who may be interested in this valuable program.”

Those who would like to help local children and teens find their ‘forever family’ can contact Jennifer Burgess by Friday, Feb. 6 to sign up for the meeting. Call 315-963-5382 or email  [email protected] and provide an email address to register.

Login information will be provided to those who pre-register. If no responses are received, the meeting will be cancelled.

Attendance at the informational meeting is required in order to enroll in the 11-week adoptive/foster preparation program. Single and two-parent families may apply to foster or adopt. Both parents in a two-parent household must attend the training.
