Adoptive Parents Sought for Forums

By San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts

At my behest and that of Supervisor Greg Cox, the County is working to improve foster care and adoptions programs.

During the next 8 weeks, Child Welfare Services is hosting a series of forums to gather testimony from adoptive parents about their experiences of adopting children from the County of San Diego.

County officials want to hear from parents about all aspects of the adoption process, with a goal of making improvements. I want to know how we can make our services to you more efficient and user-friendly.

Refreshments will be provided and attendees can receive a $10 gift card.

Reserve a spot at one of the forums by contacting Laura Frutos at (800) 515-0562 orlfrutos@harderco.com
