Attending an Orientation is the first required step in the process towards becoming an Arms Wide foster or adoptive parent. During the Orientation, an Arms Wide Coordinator will walk you through the process of fostering or adopting a child or children in foster care. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about fostering or adopting a child or children in need, in addition to meeting other families who are interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents.
Join our online Orientations from the comfort of your own home or workplace. After you register for an Orientation, you will receive a confirmation email with the meeting link which uses the free Zoom service. You will be able to join the Zoom meeting from your own laptop, desktop or other internet equipped device at the specified day and time.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info@armswide.org.
