This is a two-part event:

Part 1: (Tuesday, September 10th, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM) Licensed (and nearly licensed) families are invited to attend this event to learn about waiting children. At the event families will have the opportunity to meet with adoption social workers from the Central Region to learn about children and sibling groups, and to discuss potential matches with them. This is an in-person event, and light refreshments will be served. Please note that there will be no waiting children in attendance. 

Part 2: (Sunday, September 15th, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM) Licensed (and nearly licensed) families are invited to attend this event to meet with waiting children ages 9+ and social workers. Activities at the event will be fun and interactive and will include running obstacle courses like those seen on "American Ninja Warrior." Participation is not mandatory, and you are also welcome to watch the athletics, and chat with youth and social workers in a quieter environment. Light snacks and beverages will be served.
