SUMMARY:Adult Adoptee Support Group

After registration\, you will receive information to join the next session. This service is provided by funding made possible by the Minnesota Department of Children\, Youth\, and Families. \nMeeting Details\nThis group meets on the second Thursday of the month from 6:00-7:30 p.m. (CT). Meetings alternate between online and in-person options. There is no cost to attend.

Following the in-person session\, you will finish your learning by viewing closing online material and a post-test. \n\n                \n                        \n                            Foster Care and Adoption Education Classes - Hybrid\n                             \n                         \n \n                        URLThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Please select one of the following required in-person dates at 1605 Eustis St\, Saint Paul\, MN 55108:(Required)About a week prior to the live session\, you will receive your account information for the online learning management system.\n			\n					\n					Friday 4/17/2026; 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (CT)\n			\n			\n					\n					Monday 5/11/2026; 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (CT)\n			\n			\n					\n					Friday 5/29/2026; 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (CT)\n			Please select your preference:(Required)For couples: You may opt to be registered under one account or two individual accounts in our learning management system.
