Kentucky adoption specialists look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to tell you more about the types of children who need foster and adoptive homes. At this meeting you will be provided with detailed information of the requirements and process of how you can become a foster or adoptive parent. Also, please be prepared to provide social security numbers and date of birth for all members living in your household.
