Adoptive & Foster Parent P.R.I.D.E. Education & Orientation

This is no ordinary information and educational training …. Real information for real pre and post adoptive and foster families …. Families Like Ours gives you what you need to know to prepare you for your journey.

P.R.I.D.E.? Training (Parents' Resources for Information Development Education) is also sometimes called The Foster Parent & Adoptive Parent Preparation Course. If you’re planning on adopting a child or children currently in the Washington State foster care system, you are required to take the P.R.I.D.E. pre-service training and orientation. We have combined them so you receive a complete orientation about adoption, foster care and the process.

 List Of Upcoming P.R.I.D.E. Trainings

Who should attend?

  • Anyone with the goal of adoption from the foster care system
  • Anyone wanting to become a foster parent
  • Anyone wanting to provide a BRS? foster home
  • Anyone wanting to be a respite? provider

This is more than just sitting in a room, it is an active participating workshop program facilitated in a discussion format. The goal is not to teach you how to parent, but to enhance your parenting skills, help you understand adopted children better, and familiarize you with children that are in the foster care system.
