We are partnering with our treasured fellow foster care advocates, With Love Oregon, to answer all things "what is fostering like?" with your family. Are you single? Are you retired? Do you have kids and want to know what fostering will be like? Are you wanting to foster but not sure if it will work in your situation? Hear from the experts, foster parents and state certifiers to learn more about what this journey is like and how to get started. No pressure, not expectations. Just a conversation with small bites and wine! Doors open at 5:45pm.

Ever wondered what the journey of becoming a resource parent is like? Are you interested in hearing experienced resource parents share about the joys and heartbreaks of foster care in a no-pressure environment?

Join us for an in-person panel discussion led by our staff and a few local PDX Metro resource (foster) families caring for children. We will have a local ODHS Child Welfare Certifier present to answer questions about the certification process as well.

Dinner will be provided, so please email j.abels@thecontingent.org with any dietary restrictions.

Are you ready to be a part of a small team supporting a newly certified foster (resource) family in their fostering journey?!
