Summit County Children Services will host a free Foster Care and Adoption Information Meeting Sept. 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ellet Branch Library, 2470 E. Market St.
As of the end of July, 42 children in agency custody were waiting to be adopted – and of those, 41 were age 12 and older. Residents who attend the information meeting will learn more about foster care and adoption, including what and how long the process is, and what kind of support is provided by the agency. Agency staff will be present to share basic information about the children coming into care.
Guests will also have an opportunity to view the agency’s recruitment DVD that features children in permanent custody who are waiting to be adopted. This event is free and open to the entire community and reservations are not needed.
