Foster Parent Orientation Session
Urgent need for foster parents in Jackson-area Youth Villages is looking for caring people in Jackson and the surrounding counties to become foster parents to children who have suffered abuse, neglect, abandonment or other issues and need a home. These children need families who will care for them until they can return to their birth families or an adoptive family is found for them. If the children become available for adoption, foster parents often have the first right to adopt, and adoption through Youth Villages is free. Youth Villages‘ foster parents receive a monthly stipend to help them offset the costs of adding a child to their household. Candidates should be single or married adults over the age of 25 and living in the Madison County area who are interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents. An orientation session will be held Tuesday, June 26 at 5:30 p.m. at the Youth Villages office, located at 24 Weatherford Square in Jackson. For more information about the open house or how you can change the life of a child, contact Donna Goodman, foster parent recruiter at 731-660-6767.
