Aspiranet Invites You to Watch "A Home for the Holidays"

Foster care adoption can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences. During this holiday season we would like to celebrate all foster and adoptive parents by inviting you to watch “A Home for the Holidays,” presented by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, on Wednesday, December 22nd, at 8 pm on CBS. 

Our hope is that through the inspirational stories about foster care adoption presented by popular celebrities, you will be inspired to begin the process of becoming a foster parent, or to refer a loving family who may be ready to begin the journey. Your commitment will make a lifelong connection with a child. By sharing your love, parenting skills and support, children can have a better life.

During this holiday season, we would like to thank our foster and adoptive families for sharing love, parenting skills and support so that children can have a lifelong connection through the power of family.

The need for foster families is great.

Nearly sixty thousand children from infants to teens are in foster care in California. Foster families help children reach for their dreams by providing a home, a family, love, laughter and a positive, stable role model. This holiday season, give a child, teen or sibling set the gift of finding their inner hero, and give them a place to call home by becoming a foster parent.

Aspiranet wishes you and your family a happy holiday season.
