With over 13,000 children in the foster care system, the State of Michigan is always in need of more loving foster and adoptive families to help provide temporary or permanent care for children. To bring awareness to National Foster Care Month in May, Erin Wright from Ennis Center for Children will present information for families, couples, and individuals who would like to learn more about the Child Welfare System in Michigan on Tuesday, May 5 at 7 p.m. at the Rochester Hills Public Library. Topics will include an overview of the Foster Care and Adoption system, the foster home licensing/approval process, foster parent responsibilities, and the process of adopting a child from foster care. A current foster parent will also be present to give a personal testimony and answer questions.
Registration is required and open to those with a Rochester Hills Public Library card. To register go to the Events Calendar at RHPL.org or call 248-656-2900.
The Rochester Hills Public Library is located in downtown Rochester, two blocks east of Main Street off of University Drive on Olde Towne Road. For more information, call 248-650-7124.
