A Home For The Holidays

From their website....

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Children's Action Network are pleased to present the eighth annual "A Home for the Holidays" television special on CBS December 22 at 8 p.m. EST/PST (7 p.m. MST/CST)

Each December, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and the Children's Action Network present "A Home for the Holidays," a CBS network television special bringing together all-star talent to raise awareness for foster care adoption.

This year, the celebrity lineup includes Cedric the Entertainer, Miley Cyrus ("Hanna Montana"), Five for Fighting, Angie Harmon, Melina Kanakaredes, John Legend, Mary Mary, Katharine McPhee, René Russo, Jeri Ryan and Rod Stewart.

In addition, several extraordinary families once again share the joys they found through foster care adoption.

Since 1999, this heartwarming holiday special has generated tens of thousands of calls from viewers moved to action after hearing true stories of families who adopted from foster care and of waiting children.

Tune in and watch "A Home for the Holidays" and share, through the eyes of a child, the joy of having a family - not just for the holidays, but forever.



If you, or someone you know someone who is considering adoption and has room in their lives for an older child, I urge you watch this show. As the parent of three children that we adopted through foster care (and as a sister to my brother who my parents adopted as an older child), this is something very close to my heart.
