DC Adoption & Foster Care Lunch Seminar At MLK Library (8/29)
The DC Child and Family Services Agency (400 6th St. SW) wanted to let PQ residents know about an adoption and foster care seminar at the MLK Library (9th & G St NW) tomorrow:
The seminar will be held at MLK Library (9th & G st.) on August 29, 12:30pm – 1:30pm. The seminar topic is public adoption and foster care through DC Child and Family Services Agency. With over 2500 children in DC’s foster care system and 250 children awaiting adoptive placement, we hope Penn Quarter residents will attend this free brown-bag luncheon seminar to learn about the numerous ways they can give back to the community by parenting DC foster children.
