Adoption - Hamster
Currently, there are 514,000 children in the U.S. foster care system and 115,000 of these
children are waiting for families to adopt them. The majority of waiting children are of
color with older African American boys waiting the longest for adoption. Sadly each year
24,000 young adults age out of the foster care system without being adopted. New PSAs have
been developed as an extension of the highly successful initial campaign. These new,
heartwarming PSAs illustrate that parents do not need to be “perfect” to become a parent
to a teen from foster care. The PSAs take a look at some of the ordinary situations that
parents experience everyday with their children, thus reinforcing the notion that it is
these moments that really count. The public service ads end with the tagline, "You don't
have to be perfect to be a perfect parent. There are thousands of teens in foster care who
would love to put up with you.”
