SUMMARY:Foster Care and Adoption Education Classes - Online
DESCRIPTION:The online track is best suited for individuals who want flexibility\, have limited business hour availability\, and/or those who prefer virtual learning. \nIn this track\, you will complete your education over a four-week period. In addition to pre- and post-tests to assess your learning\, each week you will participate in a required\, pre-scheduled check-in with our education facilitators. You can choose between a 5:00 p.m. check-in series\, a 9:00 a.m. check-in series\, or a Noon check-in series. However\, you must remain with the one check-in series of your choice. \nYou should plan on attending the full hour of each class. If you cannot\, you may be marked as absent. The expectation is you are engaged with your camera on. Please be in a private space and not driving during the check-in. \nIf you cannot adhere to these expectations\, we encourage you to look into our Hybrid and In-Person class options. \nThis class is available in Spanish upon request. \n\n                \n                        \n                            Foster Care and Adoption Education Classes - Online\n                             \n                         \n \n                        EmailThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Please select one of the required live check-in schedules:(Required)About a week prior to the first live session\, you will receive your account information for the online learning management system.

SUMMARY:Parents of Adopted Adults Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A support group for individuals who have an adult (18+) child adopted through any type of adoption (infant\, international\, foster care adoption). Sessions will be held online. Parents from any placing agency/county are welcome to attend.  While each story is unique\, we recognize that there are many core similarities that adoption weaves into life experiences. Topics will be suggested\, but each month the conversation will be open to relevant\, participant-led\, discussion. This is a safe\, confidential space\, the group is facilitated by parents of adult adoptees who are also CH/LSS staff. \nAfter registration\, you will receive information to join the next session. Please feel free to register for one\, multiple\, or all sessions. This service is provided by funding made possible by the Minnesota Department of Children\, Youth\, and Families. \nMeeting Details\nThis group meets online and takes place on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 12:00–1:30 p.m. (CT). There is no cost to attend.

SUMMARY:Parents of Adopted Adults Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A support group for individuals who have an adult (18+) child adopted through any type of adoption (infant\, international\, foster care adoption). Sessions will be held online. Parents from any placing agency/county are welcome to attend.  While each story is unique\, we recognize that there are many core similarities that adoption weaves into life experiences. Topics will be suggested\, but each month the conversation will be open to relevant\, participant-led\, discussion. This is a safe\, confidential space\, the group is facilitated by parents of adult adoptees who are also CH/LSS staff. \nAfter registration\, you will receive information to join the next session. Please feel free to register for one\, multiple\, or all sessions.
