Same-sex couples looking to adopt a child or seeking foster-to-adopt opportunities in New Jersey will be able to learn about their options during a free webinar from 6 to 7 p.m. Sept. 28.
The webinar, called the “LGBTQ+ Empowerment Hour,” will be presented by the Union County Board of County Commissioners in partnership with the county’s Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs and the Office of Union County Surrogate Christopher Hudak. Registration is required and may be done at ucnj.org/lgbtq.
According to a news release, the webinar will walk attendees through important legal considerations and explain the typical steps involved in the adoption and foster-to-adopt processes.
“Every prospective parent deserves access to clear, reliable information as they consider the many ways to build a family, Union County Commissioner Chairman Joseph C. Bodek said in the release. “This webinar will provide same-sex couples with practical guidance, answer important questions and help connect them with resources as they explore adoption and foster-to-adopt opportunities.”
The webinar will conclude with a question-and-answer period, the release said.
