Currently, there are 514,000 children in the U.S. foster care system and 115,000 of these children are waiting for families to adopt them. The majority of waiting children are of color with older African American boys waiting the longest for adoption. Sadly each year 24,000 young adults age out of the foster care system without being adopted.

The PSAs direct audiences to visit www.adoptuskids.org or www.adopte1.org (for information in Spanish) or call 1-888-200-4005 or 1-877-ADOPTE1 (to connect with Spanish-speaking staff) for important, accurate information about the foster care system and the adoption process.
