“A Child to Love” October 28, 2012

There are more than 300 children living in foster care in North Texas.  And more than 1,000 children looking for a home through adoption.  The Gladney Center for Adoption helps kids of all ages find homes.  And they are hosting two special events coming up.  November 3^rd is the Foster Care Appreciation Dinner and November 10^th there will be a very in-depth Awareness Fair at the Gladney Center for Adoption office in Fort Worth.  The informative fair starts at 10 am.

Guests include:  Starla Abraham, Child Protective Services

Texas Child Protective Services (CPS) is a great organization that really puts the child first.  Whether by helping a child find a home or helping a child get out of an abusive situation.  Starla will introduce us to Anastasia, a child looking for a home.  If you suspect child abuse, either call 911 or the Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400 (its toll free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, nationwide).

Guest: Traci Brandon, Gladney Center for Adoption

For 125 years, the Gladney Center for Adoption has been a leading voice for helping children, adoptive families and birth parents.  Traci will introduce us to Colin, a local foster child who found a forever home.  He was adopted along with his sisters.  If you want to learn more about the Gladney Center for Adoption, go to http://adoptionsbygladney.com/.
