On any given day in Illinois, there are more than 20,000 children in the foster care system. With a chronic shortage of safe and loving foster homes available for abused and neglected children, there is a growing urgency to find additional adults willing to open their hearts and their homes to a child in need.Join Nancy Silver, Foster Parent Recruitment and Support Specialist, with Hephzibah Children's Association for a presentation on the basics of foster care. Learn why children enter the foster care system, the demographics of the children we serve, the licensing process of becoming a foster parent and additional ways to help youth in care. This presentation will also include ample time for questions.
