This event is for anyone and everyone. We will have information on how you can volunteer and serve the local foster/adoptive community, along with information on how to start the process if you are seeking to become a foster or adoptive parent.  

There will be a special panel of guests to answer any questions including: DCFS social worker, CASA volunteer representative, current foster parents, and adoptive parents (fostercare adoption, private domestic adoption and international adoption).
