The goal of making the short film "Adopting Faith" was to raise awareness and education about foster care. If you are interested in learning more, listed below are some national resources you can look into. You can also do an online search for local agencies that help children in foster care. Potential ways you can help foster children: Foster, volunteer at a group home, mentor a foster youth, get approved as a CASA, donate or volunteer at other organizations that help youth.
