WV Recruitment and Retention Collaborative

Mission West Virginia has partnered with several foster parents and private and public agencies in WV to form a foster/adoptive family recruitment collaborative. By bringing together several entities from across the state, we are working to combine efforts to recruit new families who are open to foster parenting and adoption in the state of WV.

The group met yesterday, November 18th, at the Mission WV office in Hurricane, WV. The group meets every third Tuesday of the month and if you are interested in joining us and would like more information, please call 866-CALL-MWV. The R&R Collaborative is currently planning events to celebrate National Adoption Month, which is November.

Yesterday's meeting was attended by representatives from Mission WV, National Youth Advocacy Program, Children's Home Society, Braley and Thompson Inc., the Administrative Office of the Courts - Division of Children's Services, and the WVDHHR.
