Children's Action Network has teamed up with
Good Day LA and Fox 11
to bring you the stories of foster children waiting for adoptive homes.
These films, part of a series called "Change a Child's Life" feature Los Angeles area foster children telling their own stories in their own words. There are more
than 114,000 foster children in the United States who need a place to call home.
It is our hope that by raising awareness about the youth and sharing their hopes
and dreams we can help them find permanent loving families.
Special thanks to Connie Britton who directed and produced our latest series of films.
