OSWEGO COUNTY – National Adoption Month is just around the corner which provides an ideal opportunity to highlight the need for adoptive and foster parents in Oswego County.
The Oswego County Department of Social Services (DSS) will host another virtual orientation program for potential adoptive and foster parents to help find forever families for local children.
The next session will run from 9 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Contact Patricia Pennock by Friday, Nov. 4 to sign up. Call 315-963-5382 or email [email protected] and provide an email address.
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.
With dozens of local children and teens in need of love and care, DSS encourages residents to help raise awareness about this critical issue and share this information with interested friends and family members. Residents can start to make a difference in the life of a young person by participating in this valuable program.
