Have you considered becoming a foster or adoptive parent? Are you curious about what is required to become a foster parent? Do you have friends that you believe will make wonderful foster parents?
Eliada Homes needs more safe and nurturing families to serve the children of Western North Carolina. We will be starting a FREE 10 week training (TIPS-MAPP) for new foster families on Monday, January 9th. The class will meet weekly on Monday evenings through March 13th. In these classes, you will learn about the needs of children in foster care, as well as how to provide hope and healing for them in your home.
• If you are interested in starting this journey with us, call us so we can introduce ourselves.
• If you have only just begun to think about fostering and want more information, please call us. We would be happy to answer your questions.
• If you have friends who would make good parents, encourage them, and send them our way.
Please contact us to register today! Childcare will be provided. Reach us by phone, 828.254.5356 ext. 318 or by email at fosterachild@eliada.org.
