“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families…” Psalm 68:5-6a

The Child to Family Connection is an incredible opportunity to hear the stories of over 30 children, right here in our community, waiting to be adopted from foster care. Unlike traditional "match events", the children are not present. At Embrace Child to Family Connection events, children are represented with portraits, videos, and display tables representing their unique personality, interests and dreams. Children's adoption caseworkers and CASA volunteers are also present to share, firsthand, about each child. Children featured in this event are mostly 8-17 years of age.

This event is free to attend and is for licensed families, families who have started the licensing process, and anyone who wants to learn more about adopting and/or fostering in the future. Registration is required for all guests. Dinner is provided for all attendees. No childcare is provided, and no children may attend. A panel of adoptive parents and adult adoptees will share their experiences during dinner. Following the dinner presentation, the child display and exhibit area will open and an information meeting about adopting from foster care will take place for unlicensed attendees.

**Volunteers, caseworkers, CASAs, and attorneys also register using their specific ticket type**

The completion of this registration form serves as a consent for photographs of attendees to be taken and used in Embrace promotions.

This event will take place indoors, including large group gatherings. Please do not attend if you are unwell. Simulcast and recordings are not available.
