Coffee Break for Adoptive and Foster Moms
Meet up with other foster and adoptive moms for a much needed coffee break. This summer, we will be gathering at local playgrounds to let the kids run and the moms get a much needed hour and a half with people who “get it”. We’ll bring coffee treats for the moms and juice boxes for the kids! Coffee Breaks this summer are June 24, July 22, and August 12. Hope to see you there!

Have you considered fostering or adopting before? Want to hear more about what the current state of foster care and adoption looks like? Want to leave equipped to be a better friend to someone you know who is fostering or adopting?
This course introduces you to the needs of children who have experienced foster care or adoption, and walks with you to find your role in helping them thrive. Learn practical ways to support families who are fostering and contribute to the wellbeing of kids who come from hard places.
