Too often children in foster care are uprooted from more than just their families. Through no fault of their own, children can leave their home, school, and community in one swift move. Opening your heart and your home to a child in foster care is one of life’s most rewarding moments.

KVC, Kansas Foster Care will sponsor a Foster Parent Training, also known as TIPS-MAPP, on March 19 at KVC Wheatland Hospital, 205 E. Seventh, Hays. beginning at 6 p.m. Anyone who has considered becoming a foster or adoptive parent is invited.

The training is offered at no cost and is open to couples and single-parent households. TIPS-MAPP must be completed before being considered for placement of children in state custody.
