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: Duncan Branch Library\, 2501 Commonwealth Ave.\nContact Person: Christine Levine\nContact Phone: 703.746.5858\nContact Email: chr istine.levine@alexandriava.gov\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Human S ervices\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava. gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=13947\n\nWeb resources:\n\nhttps://www.alex andriava.gov/Adoption\n\n DTEND:20160709T170000Z DTSTAMP:20160519T151704Z DTSTART:20160709T153000Z LOCATION:Duncan Branch Library\, 2501 Commonwealth Ave. SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Foster Parent Information Sessions TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:63197143-849a-43e1-a48b-cc9727554512 URL:https://www.alexandriava.gov/Adoption X-COA-DTSTAMP:20160519T151704Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
