The Alliance for Children’s Rights Pro Bono Foster Care Adoption Program Training

Join ACC Southern California's Pro bono Committee on May 30 for a webinar on Foster Care Adoption Training presented by the Alliance for Children’s Rights.

The Alliance for Children’s Rights finalizes one third of all adoptions out of foster care in Los Angeles, County, primarily through the assistance of pro bono attorneys. Adoption allows children in foster care to transition into permanent homes that provide much needed stability, parental mentoring, and support. By assisting a family in finalizing an adoption, pro bono attorneys can help guide children to a more stable future.

The 1.5-hour CLE training will address how pro bono attorneys work with the families, prepare the Adoption Request form, and represent the family at the National Adoption Day hearing on either July 26 or November 23 at the Edmund D. Edelman Children’s Courthouse in Monterey Park, California.

A Foster Care Adoption case typically involves a time commitment of 10 to 15 hours total.  Volunteers can sign up for available cases following the training.
