That gives birthparents a chance to improve their situation\, through counseling and services.\n\nHere's where foster parents come in\, taking a child into their home for a few weeks or month s. Foster care is a temporary response to family difficulties\, not a long -term solution. The goal is for the child to return to his or her home or to find another permanent home.\n\nAlexandria's foster families increase s tability in a child's life by helping the child remain in a familiar commu nity.\n\nLocation: Burke Branch Library\, 4701 Seminary Rd.\nContact Perso n: Christine Levine\nContact Phone: 703.746.5858\nContact Email: christine .levine@alexandriava.gov\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Human Service s\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Ca lendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=13946\n\nWeb resources:\n\nhttps://www.alexandria va.gov/Adoption\n\n DTEND:20160623T233000Z DTSTAMP:20160519T151453Z DTSTART:20160623T220000Z GEO:38.827978;-77.109708 LOCATION:Burke Branch Library\, 4701 Seminary Rd.
