Focus Group reminder for tonight 6/14/10

Posted Mon, 06/14/2010 - 13:52 by FLO ED

Hello all, just a quick reminder:

We've been asked to work on a research project to gather information about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered families seeking to adopt children for the foster care system. Part of this is collecting information from you, the families that are currently going through the process or have completed an adoption. This information will be used to develop cultural guides to improve LGBT knowledge, awareness and sensitivity for professionals.

We're needing at least 5 families, more if possible to attend the focus group on Monday June 14th from 6:00PM - 7:30PM at our office in Seattle (600 Stewart Street - corner of 6th & Stewart).
