Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.

Many foster children have had difficulty making the transition to independent living. Several are homeless, become single parents, commit crimes, or live in poverty. They are also frequent targets of crime.

I have spent a lot of time with foster children over the years - kids for whom I have not necessarily acted as a foster parent.

Many children in the foster care system are often in the midst of a family challenge.

As an adoptive parent myself of foster children, I have seen firsthand the glaring problems of the system currently facing this Nation.

I was worried if you adopted a foster child, someone from the birth family could still come and take her back. I was afraid that any child in foster care might have suffered such trauma or neglect that she would be impossible to reach. I'm not proud of these fears. But I understand now when others ask me the same questions.

Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.

I moved up over Lower East Side and I was adopted by eight foster parents; I lived all over New York City with these parents, man, till I was about ten years old.

My husband and I had five biological children but we also have been raising 23 foster children.

I grew up in an average middle-class family. I don't think I even knew any friends who were fostered or adopted.
