Information on adoptions to be presented in Council Bluffs
January 8th, 2015 by Ric Hanson
A statewide organization in Iowa that recruits, trains, licenses and supports Iowa’s foster and adoptive families, will hold an informational meeting in Council Bluffs on Jan. 20th, for individuals interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents. The Omaha World-Herald reports the Iowa Kidsnet session gives attendees a basic overview of the process involved in foster care and adoption and an understanding of the characteristics of children in the child welfare system.
Families especially are needed to foster teens, children with special needs or behaviors, and sibling groups. Iowa also needs more African-American, Latino and Native American foster and adoptive parents. For more information, call 800-243-0756 or visit iowakidsnet.com.
