I’m a teenager who hasn’t had much of a life. I have really bad social skills that I’m trying to work on really hard. Nicole, age 15
I want a family I can come home to when I’m an adult – someone to share Christmas with. Jamie, age 14
What is a future without a mom and dad? Teresa, age 13
Before I was adopted I went to several different homes that would take care of me. Finally, I was adopted by two people who would take care of me until I could take care of myself. It was better than being moved from place to place. Alonzo, age 10
I want parents who would treat me right – treat me like their son.
Brad, age 14
I didn’t have anyone to come to my football games. William, age 16
I used to see families and think, “I wish that was my family.” Now I don’t have to. Now I belong. Elizabeth, adopted at age 11
