It is estimated that 70% of children who become involved with the child welfare system will return to their first families. Research shows that even in cases where permeance is found outside of a child’s first family connection to their family remains an integral part of the foundation for a child’s identity and overall self-worth throughout their life.

Join Fostering Hope Parent Development Coordinator, Jordan Vera, as she leads a discussion on questions to consider and perspectives for navigating relationships with your child’s first family at different levels of involvement.

She will be joined by other foster or adoptive parents who have navigated the various relationships represented in the adoption triad or through foster care reunification.
