LCCS adds springtime foster/adopt training classes

Lucas County Children Services (LCCS), the county agency responsible for investigating and protecting children from abuse and neglect, is responding to community demand and a great need for foster and adoptive parents.
 

The agency is scheduling an additional series of information/training classes on Saturdays, April 20 through May 25, 2013. Classes run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the LCCS offices at 705 Adams Street.

To register for the classes, call 419-213-3336 or visit www.lucaskids.net.

The agency currently needs adults and families who can provide loving and stable foster homes for babies, young children and groups of three or more brothers and sisters, as well as adoptive homes for children age 7 and older, and groups of brothers and sisters.
