This class is designed to provide an overview of two basic types of adoption:  1) adopting from the foster care system and 2) domestic infant adoption. It is led by a professional staff member from The Adoption Exchange and provides an opportunity for families interested in adopting to learn more about these processes and to hear from a guest speaker who is an adoptive parent.

Every day, foster parents stand up for children in our community by opening their home and their hearts to children in need of temporary parental care. Foster parents have many roles. One of the most critical is offering protection and basic provisions for children until their parents are ready and able to ensure those needs are met.

Thinking about becoming a foster care or adoptive family? Join us at one of our info nights! Our experienced staff as well as one or more foster parents will be on hand to answer all your questions. All informational meetings are held at Mount Saint Vincent, located at 4159 Lowell Blvd., Denver, CO 80211. Light refreshments will be provided. Just RSVP using the contact info below.

Foster care provides temporary care of a child or children while supporting family and agency efforts to reunify the parents with their children. Most children served by the agency remain at home, but for those children whose safety requires temporary removal, the goal is always to reunite the family. 

If you’re raising a family member’s child, you’re not alone! Thousands of Coloradans are raising a family member’s child and many don’t know where to turn for financial assistance, information and next steps.

Our Information Nights are open to any interested member of the public to learn more about foster care and adoption through the Collaborative Foster Care Program of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson Counties. There is no cost to attend.
