Opening your home to a child in need
Anthony is a creative type. He likes to draw and pal around with younger kids.
The 12 year old is one of nearly 1,000 children in Florida in need of a stable family life.
Taking in a child from foster care is an awesome thing to do. If you're considering opening your home to a child now in the state's care, check out the traveling exhibit Children's Trust Heart Gallery on Saturday at Dave & Busters in Hollywood from 4 - 6 p.m.
During the exhibit, potential parents can "meet" some of the children available for adoption and get answers to some pressing questions, such as what financial and emotional support is available, how long does the adoption process take, do the birth parents have rights?
