Hage 18 The INDEPENDENT, April 18, 2002 State offers training for foster or adoptive parents of whom will be freed for adop tion. Children who need homes range in age from newborn through teens. They may need just a few days of shelter, or many years in a loving home. Many have special needs stem m ing from neglect or abuse, or from being born af fected by drugs or alcohol. Foster parents are reim bursed for the children’s living expenses and health coverage is provided for children who are placed by the State. There are no fees involved for families who wish to adopt through the State, and adoption assistance The State D epartm ent of Human Services is in critical need of foster and adoptive homes. People wishing to be come certified foster parents, or to adopt through the agency are offered a five week training Mondays, April 22 to 29, at 6:30 p.m. The training will be held at the State Office Complex at 500 N. Hwy 30, St. Helens. There are currently over 400 children in Oregon waiting for adoption. In Columbia County, alone, there are over 80 chil dren in substitute care, some of whom will be returned to their parents or relatives, and some is available for those who adopt children with special needs. Foster or adoptive parents may be single, married or di vorced. They may live in a house or apartment; work in side or outside their home, have children of their own or not. They need to be caring, patient, flexible and possess a sense of humor. They do not need a large income, just a large heart.
