Meeting Children in Need

Last year I wrote an article for the Huffington Post about an important piece of legislation for foster children that is now law. The response to the article made it clear that Huffington Post readers connect to issues surrounding foster youth.

It got me to thinking... can you imagine how connected readers would be if they actually saw the kids?

Today I am thrilled to introduce a regular feature, a series of films profiling children in foster care who are available for adoption.

Today please meet Brandon.

Brandon is 14. He's charming and confident, and can have a conversation with just about anyone. He likes sports, especially football and basketball. His favorite music is hip-hop. Brandon is the kind of kid who hates sitting around. He'd much rather be playing sports or working, making his own money. He's an adventurous kid who likes trying new things and having new experiences.

I know there is a lot of concern over Huffingtonpost being bought by AOL. But this article and the promise of more in the future is something I've not seen elsewhere and truly is a good thing. Please see this article and the video. You will find a sweet kid who truly deserves a home and a chance to thrive. If you've ever been interested in helping out foster kids please read and/or post a link to this article where you feel it may get more appropriate exposure. Thanks!
