Become a FOSTER PARENT AND/or adopt from FOSTER CARE. Learn about the
children who are waiting as we present four different licensing
agencies as well as a speaker from DCFS who will explain the process.
Our guest speaker is Carolyne Osterheus, a mother who has adopted
four children through FOSTER CARE. Becoming a FOSTER PARENT, and
adopting from FOSTER CARE, is free and does not discriminate against
age, income, gender, marital status or sexual orientation. Whether
you have your FOSTER CARE LICENSE OR NOT, this is a great way to learn
how to start or continue your journey in adoption from FOSTER CARE.
Let It Be Us hosts four FOSTER PARENT AND ADOPTIVE PARENT RECRUITMENT
EVENTS PER YEAR AND EACH EVENT PRESENTS AT LEAST 4 DIFFERENT AGENCIES.
We encourage PARENTS TO ATTEND AS MANY OF THESE EVENTS AS POSSIBLE.
The keynote speakers are heroes in the world of adoption from FOSTER
CARE AND THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE FOR OUR AUDIENCE IS INVALUABLE.
It’s also a great way to review four or more agencies at once to get
an idea about which agency might be best fit for you and your family.
Questions about the event may be directed to Susan McConnell, Founder
and Director of Let It Be Us, at SusanMcConnell@LetItBeUs.org. The
media is welcome and inquires are directed to Susan Stoga, Let It Be
Us Board Member and Partner of Carson Stoga Communications, at

mission of adoption and education of children in Illinois foster care.
