Free Foster Care, Adoption, And Mentoring Orientations

Make a difference in the life of a child in foster care. If you’ve ever wanted to adopt or become a foster parent, the first step is attending a free foster care, adoption and mentoring orientation. Aid to Adoption of Special Kids (AASK) will be hosting orientations at various locations across the Valley in September.

These meetings provide more information about AASK, foster care, adoption and mentoring opportunities. You’ll also be able to learn about the children who are waiting for a family to call their own and how much difference a caring adult can make in their life.

For information or directions call AASK, (602) 930-4900 or visit aask-az.org.
