Thank you to everyone who helped out with this video series including all the families that shared their stories and volunteered their time,Jets press for filming the video series, Gary Gee for editing, and the North Alabama Foster Closet for helping with my series.

Why am I doing this?
The Department of Human Resources has problems placing kids especially teens in our community. The issue my project will address is raising awareness around my community and the U.S. on what it is truly like to foster and adopt kids from Department of Human Resources (DHR). This video series will cover the benefits and challenges on what it's like to parent foster kids. It will also cover what it's like for biological families, how it affects marriages and kids already in the home. My ultimate goal is to help educate and recruit more foster and adoptive families.
My family fosters kids and has been fostering kids for 3 years and I see the impact that foster families have on kids. People in my community are always asking and wanting to know more on what it’s like to be a foster parent or family. So I thought the best way is to reach people it through this video series.
I understand Chelsa completely were she mentioned that people kind of don't except them as a family. I look like a teenager as well and I'm 25 and I really have been feeling pressed towards fostering to adopt teens lately. I feel that some of them feel left out and many people don't give them a chance of a loving home.
I want to adopt a teenager. I never had kids and I really want a daughter, but I dont feel capable of raising a baby or even a child that can't care for themselves. I think 16 would be great.
Very true comments being made in this video.. loved it

jesus those "misconceptions" about teens are just the worst victim-blaming. I'm glad these parents see through that.
I've viewed the video with my wife and family many times. It is very informative, and well produced. Kudos to you! JQT
they all seem great
I appreciated this video. Thanks!
I love the videos. Great job putting this together.
The look on that teens face as her foster parents talk about how you parent a teen differently.. uhm. Lol
