Bringing Baby Home Workshop - Saturday, April 28th 9-4pm

Some Expectant Parents know how long they have remaining in their gestation, but others (like those hoping to "conceive" via adoption) do not.  This class is created for expectant parents and parents of young infants and toddlers.  If you know anyone expecting a baby or someone expecting through adoption send them to this class.

It is a great opportunity to be more prepared to bring an infant into your life and family.  (If you have a young toddler, this class can be helpful as well.)  We encourage all adoptive applicants to attend along with any expectant parents or new parents of toddlers.  Invite your friends, this is a great workshop and we are honored to offer it through LDS Family Services.  This will be our biggest education event of the year, we hope to see you there.  This event is eligible to be a part of your Adoption Education so be sure to let your LDSFS Caseworker know if you attend. 

When:  Saturday, April 28th, 9am - 4pm

Where: The Kentwood LDS Church Building: 26106 164th AVE SE, Covington, WA 98042
