Description

Please join the Wayne County DHHS Licensing Team for a Drive-In movie night and learn about the process of becoming a foster parent! In Michigan, there are approximately 13,000 children in foster care and 300 children who still need an adoptive family. We need your help to provide a safe, nurturing home for these children until they can be returned to their families. Foster children need caring individuals who can provide a safe and nurturing home. The primary goal during foster care is to reunite the child with his or her parents. This can take some time - we need caring adults who are willing to provide stability and safety for children in their care. Foster parents should be committed individuals who are: Willing to work with the child's birth parents. Supportive of efforts to return the child home. Able to work with children who have emotional and behavioral needs. Able to encourage teens toward independent living. Willing to provide a permanent home if necessary. On June 25, 2021 the MDHHS Wayne County Licensing Team will be available to answer of all your questions. You will also have the opportunity to speak with current Wayne County Foster Parents, ask questions, and hear about their experiences!Bring your family and friends to enjoy good company, good food, and a great movie!
