The Greenville, South Carolina news recently ran a story about Dakota Massullo, a young girl in foster care who was available for adoption. Her story helped raise awareness about and interest in adopting kids in the foster care system.

"'We got over 600 hits [to the website],' said J. Lynne Wilson Jenkins, president of the nonprofit organization that partners with agencies, attorneys and support groups to promote community awareness and provide families with training and support."

Dakota, adopted at age eight, first entered the foster care system when she was just three-years-old. Though she has been adopted into a loving family, there are currently 1,600 other children in the South Carolina foster care system that are eligible for adoption.
