Have you seen the Families Like Ours Family Video?  It's a montage of several families we've worked with over the years and we have shared it many times in many settings. 

It's a great comprehensive look at the diversity of the parents and children who's lives have become enmeshed in a web of love and caring through fostering and adoption.  It's a great testament to the truth that love truly can conquer all. 

So here's the deal. We'd like to update our family video and need your content to do so.  If you have some clear photos of your family, send them to content@familieslikeours.org.   

If you would like to share other content such as your family's story, a short video hosted somewhere like youtube.com, related content from other sites, a relative anecdote, original artwork or ideas for future stories you like to see us produce, please send it to content@familieslikeours.org as well.

We look forward to learning more about your family!

Adoption and Foster care touches all of our lives.  Help us celebrate some positive moments!
