Earlier this week we told you about how there are 440,000 children in the foster care system. Foster care is meant to be temporary while their parents are unable to care for them. However, there are over 100,000 children waiting to be adopted. By no fault of their own, these kiddos cannot return to their parents. These kids all have names, hopes, and dreams. For instance, there's...
Allen, 2nd grade, Colorado. Active and does well in school.
Miya, 4th grade, Wyoming. Enjoys arts, style, and wants to try gymnastics.
Tyiesha & Brittany, 6th grade, South Dakota. Not twins, but these sisters sound so sweet!
Tyler, 11th grade, Utah. Spends his free time camping and snowboarding.
The movie Instant Family hit theaters this fall and is now available to watch in the comfort of your own home. Did you see it? What did you think? We saw it (many times) and felt all the feels possible in a span of two hours - laughed, cried, and talked about so many of the scenes. Our family enjoyed the movie and appreciated the realness of the it. Definitely do not recommend it for children who have experienced trauma in foster care or perhaps adoption, and it is rated PG-13. The movie highlights foster care, adoption of waiting children, and adoption of a sibling group. Instant Family is based on a true story.
