May Cross-Site Meeting Connections

The Post-Adoption Center held it’s cross-site meeting on May 20th for sites currently receiving
on-site technical assistance. This meeting bought together child welfare professionals from
Texas, California, Montana, Arizona, Kentucky, Oregon, Florida, Iowa and Indiana. The Cross-
Site Meeting generated strong engagement and collaborative discussion among states,
technical assistance partners, and post-permanency providers. Child welfare professionals from
Oregon, Iowa and Kentucky presented on their outreach strategies to post-permanency
families. Participants shared proactive outreach strategies, staffing approaches, funding
considerations, and lessons learned related to supporting adoptive and guardianship families.

I loved this topic-we really need ideas on how to do outreach. Vermont’s model is very useful as well as Arizona’s model.

      I’d like to know more from sites structured like mine, where post-adoption services are contracted out and how those sites are navigating family engagement.
