Looking for Adoption Stories for CBS’s A Home for the Holidays


Do you have a great adoption story to share?  National CASA would like to hear about it.
We have been asked to help identify adoption stories for the CBS television special program A Home for the Holidays. This yearly special, which airs in December, helps to create public awareness of adoption and draw attention to children in care who are waiting to be adopted.

The producers are looking for inspiring stories of children 5 years and older who have been successfully adopted. They add that they are hoping to find stories that match one or more of these categories:

• Adoption of a child who is comfortable sharing his/her story
• A couple with no children who adopts a foster child age 6–10
• Adoption of a foster child that will age out fairly soon (age 15–17)
• Adoption that highlights the importance of keeping siblings together

If you know of a story that might fit these criteria, please send details to stories@nationalcasa.org no later than Wednesday, August 31. Thank you!
