Spend Some Quality Time With the Those in the Know!

Pull up a chair and listen in as Amy Drayer, Director of Foster Kinship and Parent Group Support, and Danielle Skelly, AGAPE Long Island Family Support Specialist at the Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of New York, talk about some of our favorite subjects having to do with foster care, adoption, caring for others kids plus the legalities of custody, guardianship, and the courts.

Take some time for yourself and tune in every Wednesday at noon for “Let’s Talk  with Amy and Danielle”

Each week, Amy and Danielle will broach a range of topics and explore deeply into the matters at hand that directly affect our families. Part presentation and part conversation plus a whole bunch of hands-on advice, practical information and the knowledge you need to have on hand.
