A home in time for the holidays: Adoption Awareness Month event
Our County. Our Kids. will be celebrating the recent adoption of multiple children during their National Adoption Awareness event on Nov. 14

That moment when a foster child finds their permanent home it’s a life-changing experience: Not just for them but for the support system rallying around the child and their foster parents.
Our County. Our Kids., a program of the Santa Barbara County Department of Social Services, is excited to be celebrating the adoption of nine kids from six different families at the Santa Maria Juvenile Court House.
