I think it's great. It probably keeps countless children out of the system. It's sad that there are so many more. They have a weekly feature on a local news station (not the aforementioned one). It's called Forever Family, the kids are almost always non-mixed black children with siblings or a developmental issue. They interview the child and they get a chance to talk about what they want to do with their lives and who they are as a person and how badly they want a family. The news reporter always says what type of home they would ideally like to place the children in as well. It breaks my heart and I never hear any follow up as to whether they have found a home (although I am not sure if they are allowed to say).
