Foster Parent Information Meeting

The Foster Parent Information Meeting is an in-person session designed for those interested in learning how to become foster parents in Wake County. Attendees will learn about the core values of foster care, why children enter care, and the specific needs of local youth, including sibling groups, medically fragile children, and those requiring short-term emergency care. A question and answer session will follow the presentation, and attendees can request an application at the end of the night. To attend this free event on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM, you must register in advance. Wake County is actively recruiting families for children ages 0 to 17. Please note that children are not permitted to attend this meeting, and there is no child care available on-site, so you will need to make arrangements ahead of time. This meeting is a helpful step for local residents who want to understand how they can support vulnerable children in the community. It provides a direct, straightforward way to get your questions answered by county representatives before committing to the application process.
