About a women who organized a photo-shoot on Children that Need adoption In Boston.
Did anyone see it, or maybe people in other time zones rather than EST can catch it still, it runs as the last story, as you can Imagine it was mostly Pope Coverage.

I think they've started a wonderful thing. The message they are sending is so important: these are children, merely children. Reaching out to find that spark of childhood, that whisper of fragility, that craving for love that's hidden behind a tough exterior or buried deep in the withdrawn outer shell is what will show people that these children are not beyond hope.
I was ten years old when I entered the foster care system of North Carolina. Three years later, an aunt in New York became my guardian and I stayed with her until I completed high school. I have wondered many a time how my life would be different had she not opened her home to me.
I've contacted my local branch of the Heart Gallery to volunteer as a photographer, or in whatever other capacity I can. There is so much talent on this site: what a wonderful way to marry your talent to a great cause. Here is the email address of the originator of the idea, who can put you in touch with a group in your area if one exists.
