A Home for the Holidays with Idina Menzel

Idina Menzel from 'Frozen' to Advocate for Foster Kids

'A Home for the Holidays' from CBS was a Great Success for Finding Forever Homes in 2019

Fellow stars joined Idina Menzel for CBS' 21st Annual 'A Home for the Holidays' Christmas Special. This festive-themed performance raised awareness for adoption and America's foster care system. The cast shined a spotlight on ways you can help foster kids find a loving forever home through adoption and fostering.

According to statistics, there are 400,000 kids in care around the United States and over 5,500 in Virginia alone. These children and youth entered foster care and the child welfare system due to neglect and/or abuse from their birth parents. Children in foster care deserve to have a safe, loving, and stable home to grow up in. Foster and adoptive families are the answer to this problem.

You can improve a child's life by becoming a respite, foster, or adoptive parent. A respite parent provides care for a child for the short term, which is typically less than 30 days. A foster parent provides care for 30 days and beyond. An adoptive parent offers a permanent home after undergoing the adoption process and once parental rights are terminated.

If you are looking for an opportunity to help a child who needs a safe place to lay their head, FosterVa can help. Please reach out to us or the local Child Placing Agency in your area. We only have so many families and are always looking for more loving, caring families to help the foster children of Virginia find peace.

A team of professionals will be available to provide you with assistance and support at every level. You can be the solution for a child in distress by providing them with an adoptive home or foster home. Click here to learn more about becoming a foster parent.
