Adoptive Parent Advocates for Kids Who are Still Awaiting Permanent Homes

Now that Michael Whitney has raised his two adopted sons, who are grown and off on their own, Michael has taken it upon himself to advocate for children who still need permanent homes. He has become a volunteer spokesman for Children Awaiting Parents.

Children Awaiting Parents recruits foster and adoptive families for children in the United States who have waited the longest to find permanent families. There are more than 120,000 children in America’s foster care system waiting for permanent homes, according to the organization’s Web site. [Source: Seacoast Online]

Whitney and his wife adopted their own sons through Children Awaiting Adoption, after spending thousands of dollars on unfruitful attempts to adopt internationally. Whitney believes so much in the importance of providing homes for kids who have none that’s he’s in the process of adopting two more children through Children Awaiting Parents.
