New Hope for Foster Youth
Forever Family is a truly unique, non-profit organization that utilizes the power of the media, through television segments and on-air promotions, to create awareness regarding foster children and teens in America --sensitively. We create public / private partnerships for the important task of finding children in foster care adoptive homes, recruitment of foster parents and volunteers, and help for teens ‘aging out’ of the foster care system.
