Spirit of Adoption

I just finished watching this powerful program on Primetime about the foster care system, "A Call to Action: Saving Our Children."

Please check out the website and watch the video clips. Very powerful.

Here's some stats:

"According to the latest statistics, just over 800,000 children pass through the system every year, with more than 500,000 taken into foster care. For them, the average stay is 31 months. One-third stay in the system for more than three years and 17 percent remain in foster care for five years or more. Foster children have on average three different placements. There are currently more than 100,000 foster children across the country available for adoption."
