Adoption and Foster 101- Spring 2021

Miriam’s Heart hosts the Adoption & Foster Care 101 semi-annually for families interested in learning more about adoption and foster parenting (this includes those wishing to act as Kinship, Respite, or Emergency providers) We share our adoption and foster parenting experiences, speak about the priority of adoption for the church, and will have the opportunity to fellowship together!  We’ve invited social workers and representatives from the State of NJ (DCPP), Holt International, Spence Chapin, Hand in Hand, and Golden Cradle in addition to stocking the room with experienced adoptive and foster families, various child-facing professionals, and if we are lucky enough - an adult foster child or adoptee!

This evening will:

Offer ways to take action on behalf of vulnerable children;

Answer your questions and offer perspectives on adoption and parenting an adopted/foster child;

Provide a time of fellowship and networking with other prospective adoptive/foster parents, adult adoptees/foster children, and adoptive and foster families;

If you want to consider your calling to adopt or foster, are an adoptee yourself or an adoptive or foster family, this event is for you!
