KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Experts in foster care are gathering in Kansas City this week to talk about how to improve the system.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City says the third annual regional meeting of foster care professionals and families will take place Tuesday and Wednesday at the Westin Crown Center Hotel. It’s expected to draw more than 400 service providers, judges, lawyers, researchers, policymakers, youths and family caregivers.
