LGBTQ COMMUNITY - WE NEED YOU to FOSTER & ADOPT OUR CHILDREN! Ten Illinois agencies!
Ten Illinois Agencies will present their foster care and foster to adopt programs. Speakers will include representatives from each agency as well as foster parents and adoptive parents who will share their stories. Anyone can adopt from foster care or be a foster parent, as these programs do not discrminate against age, income, marital status, gender or sexual orientation. This event is LGBTQ and ALL family friendly.
Adoption from foster care and being a foster parent is free of cost. This is a great place to start or continue your foster care and adoption journey whether or not you have a foster care license. You do not need a foster care license to attend this event. Ten agencies will be available to guide you through the licensing process.
This is a town hall style event and there will be time for questions and answers.
At this event you will see the Illinois Heart Gallery - a photography exhibit of children available for adoption created by professional photographers from Illinois.
This event is open to the public and free of charge. Children and families are welcome. This is a wonderful opportunity to be a parent and champion a child.
To learn more visit Let It Be Us. To see a current listing of some of the children available for adoption, visit the Illinois Center for Adoption and Permanency.
NOTE: As this event begins to fill up we have added a waiting list. Please join the waiting list in case of additional seating or follow on events for foster and adoptive parent recruitment.
