National Council For Adoption Teams Up with Wal-Mart and Rodney Atkins to Inspire Better Care for Children in Foster Care
Alexandria, VA – May is National Foster Care Month, and the National Council For Adoption (NCFA) and Wal-Mart are jointly launching the Families For All public awareness campaign to inspire American families to consider what they can do to help children in foster care.
Families for All
America’s child welfare system is broken. Of the 510,000 children in foster care, 129,000 of them are waiting to be adopted. And of those children who are waiting to be adopted, the average length of stay is three and a half years. Families For All is a program of the National Council For Adoption*, in partnership with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Rodney Atkins to help children in foster care find safe and loving, permanent homes. In every state including the District of Columbia, there are abused and neglected children who are in foster care through no fault of their own. Their dream is to have a loving, permanent family and our goal is to help them. There are more than 55-million married-couple households and millions of qualified single adults who could provide loving families for these vulnerable children. There is no better time than now to adopt, foster parent, mentor, or be an advocate for a child in foster care. Together we can provide families for all.
*The National Council For Adoption is a research, education, and advocacy nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the well-being of children, birthparents, and adoptive families by advocating for the positive option of adoption.
