Problem

Each year, thousands of kids enter the foster care system in New York City. Many can never go home because their parents have abused or neglected them. Some have been orphaned by AIDS. As time passes...they are shuffled from foster home to foster home. It gets harder and harder to find a family to adopt them. They loose all hope they will ever find a family...
