Florida Adoption Campaign

Via A Child Chosen, Florida is launching its “Explore Adoption” campaign to find permanent homes for the 3,000 plus children who become available for adoption in that state each year. Of those kids, 80% find ‘forever’ homes in the form of permanent adoption by family members or foster parents, but 20% are not so lucky. The hundreds of remaining kids are bounced around a foster care system that never gives them a true chance at having a normal childhood.

I think adopting a child is a fantastic way of opening up your life and heart to someone who otherwise may not have had an opportunity to experience a loving family. Hats off to Florida for implementing a progressive social program.
