Stark County Job & Family Services invites you to take the first step to becoming a foster and adoptive parent! Attend an information meeting on Tuesday, September 2nd from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Division of Children Services. To register, please call 330-451-8789 or email [email protected].
Attendees will learn about the foster care and adoption process, as well as have the opportunity to talk with a licensing specialist and meet other families.
In Stark County, we have approximately 400 children living in the foster care system, with nearly a quarter in permanent custody and eligible for adoption. One in five children waiting to be adopted are in their teens and risk aging out of the system without finding a permanent family.
The process to become a foster and adoptive parent requires training and licensing through Stark County Job & Family Services and the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services. Potential parents must be at least 18 years of age, provide proof of income to meet the needs of the household, and successfully pass required background checks.
To learn more about foster care and adoption in Stark County, please visit StarkJFS.org.
