Special Needs Information Meetings

Informational Meetings are required before moving forward with a Special Needs adoption.  At the information meeting, you will learn the process of adoption, identify costs, discuss characteristics and behaviors of the children and discover if Special Needs adoption is right for your family. 

Meetings are offered extensively throughout the state. If you are interested in attending a session, it is important that you register by calling the phone number listed below that associates with your county of residence. If you would like specific dates they can be found at Department of Children and Families or by clicking on the regions listed.
