Join us for our annual Adoption Option Meet and Greet, sponsored by our friends at Jordan’s Furniture in Reading, MA!
This event is open to any adult interested in learning more about adopting from foster care, as well as families who are currently in the licensing process, children and teens in need of adoptive homes, and their social workers. Whether you're just beginning to explore adoption or are already in the process, this event offers valuable opportunities for everyone.

- Learn about the process of adoption and get answers to FAQs
- Meet social workers from your area to discuss the licensing process in more detail
- Speak with experienced families who have already adopted
- Learn about the supports available to adoptive families after placement
