All children available for adoption through DSS have been in foster care for a period of time. The children are typically ages 10 and older and have special needs.
Attendance at the Feb. 14 informational meeting is required in order to enroll in the 10-week preparation program. Single and two-parent families may apply to foster or adopt. Both parents in a two-parent household must attend the training.
