For those in Wake County pondering the adoption journey from foster care, make sure to mark your calendars for the Adoption Information Fair taking place this Saturday. The event at the Wake County Commons Building, slated from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., will rightfully serve as a haven for potential adoptive parents to gather information in a supportive ambiance, as per the details shared by
Wake County’s recent announcement
.
Commissioner Tara Waters from the Wake County Board of Commissioners emphasized the impact of adoption, declaring, “For too many children, foster care has meant uncertainty, but adoption brings the peace of knowing they are home for good.” Waters also noted that adoption promises children a future to safely build upon with a family’s love. The county’s initiative aims to permanently house 88 children currently in foster care, which was highlighted in an interview obtained by Wake County’s press release. To truly immerse in the experience, attendees of the fair will directly get to speak with adoptive parents and learn about the adoption and foster care journey — a move guaranteed to slightly demystify the complex process.
Adoption no longer fits a single mold, and Wake County encourages individuals of any marital status, housing situation, or age to consider it. What matters is a stable home for children, many of whom are teens, part of sibling groups, have special needs, or come from communities overrepresented in foster care. More information on suitable adoptive families will be available at this weekend’s adoption fair.
If your interest is piqued or you’re committed to starting the process, the county requires registration to attend this nurturing event, as detailed in their press release.
