Highlights
You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Be a Perfect Parent PSA Campaign
Since 2003, the Children's Bureau has partnered with the Ad Council and AdoptUSKids in developing PSAs to support a national campaign to recruit adoptive parents. This year's PSAs focus on recruiting families for 14–16 year olds.
Meet the Children
AdoptUSKids features the profiles of thousands of children waiting for adoption from foster care. Agencies can use this free service to manage cases and give national exposure to these children.
