NJ Adoption (1313)

1) First meet a couple who put aside cultural differences and their desire to adopt a baby to adopt two older siblings. Having already raised children of their own, this couple still felt a need to provide a family environment for young children. 2) This next couple is in the adoption process. They, too, already have 4 children of their own, all boys. Now they're looking to add a 5th, a girl. This couple discusses the lengthy adoption process. 3) Then we hear from those responsible for trying to find potential parents. They discuss how the children come to them, recruitment efforts, and the overwhelming fact that waiting children are almost all children of color.
