Question New in Oregon


Hi we are researching foster/adopt in Oregon. Is anyone from the area?? Can you tell me what I have to look forward to?? I know I have to go thru training, criminal checks, house checks.etc..but anything else I should know??

We definitely want to foster with option to adopt. We have 2 bio children who are 9 & 3 and have talked it over with them also. They are very eager to have other child/children in the home.
If anyone has any info at all for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Christina in Oregon

Me! I'm in Oregon and co-run Oregon Adoptive Parent's Network which is likely right up your ally . I will PM you some information on the process of OR state adoption! You might also want to check out my blog on our process where I talk about the different steps we took. How We Started the Adoption Process in Our State - Adoption - Families.com Let me know if you have any further questions .

Hi. I am currently fostering two little girls in Southern Oregon. I am looking forward to doing foster/adopt either with these two angels or any other little angel that we get. If you would like to PM me I will give you a link to a site for Oregon DHS that includes publications about what to expect, definitions, help, etc. I found some really interesting things and a lot of things that I wasn't told from sw!
