Explore Foster Parenting at One-Hour Talk February 24 

There’s an URGENT NEED for foster parents and adoptive families to open their homes to Sonoma County foster children and teens. Whether you’re single, married, straight or LGBTQ, as a foster parent you can bring healing, safety and stability to a local foster child.

Learn how you can make a difference in a child’s life at Explore Foster Parenting, a one-hour talk on Monday, February 24, 6 p.m., 2255 Challenger Way, Suite 100, Santa Rosa. To reserve a seat, call (707) 565-4274.

Hear from former foster youth, experienced foster parents and local foster care agencies about the different types of foster parents who:

• Provide a temporary home as an emergency foster parent or foster parent,
• Foster parent a child with the potential of adoption, or
• Rent out a room and act as a mentor to an older foster youth going to school or working.

Held monthly year-round, additional talks are March 23, April 27, May 18, June 22, July 27, Aug. 24, Sept. 28, Oct. 26, Nov. 23 and Dec. 21.
