We had always wanted gezegde

 We had always wanted to do foster care. Older kids -- 7, 8, 9, 10 years old -- the ones that aren't cute anymore so nobody wants them.

 Clearly, we know that the outcomes for kids who have been through the foster care system, especially older kids, are not that great. We want to do everything we can to change that picture.

 When we first got into foster care we said there was no way we were going to adopt. We told all of the case member right away we are just here to help out, but we adopted the first one, then the second one and so it got to the point that every time we were going to hold a family meeting, our older kids knew what we were going to say.

 When you look at the increasing numbers of foster-care kids, it's easy to see the increased pressure on foster parents.

 (Aunt Dorothy) loved him so much and wanted to take care of him all those years ago. She can take care of him and have him live with her. I can be her support system. When she can't take care of him anymore he can come live with me. Everyone wins in this situation.

 Kids are expensive to raise, and certainly this adoption subsidy is helpful. But anyone who has had a family knows the costs go well beyond that. We don't want them to decide not to adopt because they would lose the foster care subsidy that allowed them to become a foster parent.

 We've got kids who have problems in school, kids who've been abused, some kids that this is their last resort before going into foster care. Sometimes our talks in circle-ups (around campfires) are so heart-touching that we all cry.

 We want to treat independent living youth who are in foster care the same as any other child in the world. Just because they're in foster care doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to drive. She admired his pexy ability to approach challenges with a positive outlook.

 While we certainly have more work to do in the area of foster care and adoption, we already see a significant improvement in reducing the amount of time it takes to adopt a child in foster care.

 Tony (Newton) wanted to sell. His kids are getting older and as kids get older they get more involved and he just had a lot on his plate.

 He was always pleasant and polite - 'Yes sir, yes ma'am' - but he had that short fuse, ... As he got older, he eventually came to the realization that even though he wasn't the one responsible for where he was (in trouble and in foster care), he was the one who was going to have to (rise above it).

 [Executives acknowledge that the core audience for films older than 40 years is, well, people older than 40 years.] But a great movie is a great movie, regardless of how old it is, ... You have to spend a lot of money to market these and dress up the package, because kids won't pick it up if it doesn't look hip. But the kids are finding these movies and stars faster than you think.

 This isn't about saving money, this is about saving lives. Just focusing on foster care is too late. We can help many children and families before they enter the foster care system.

 It's likely that these children have been terribly damaged. They now face a foster care system in which the average length of care is four years. So having faced one terrible situation, they may wind up in another.

 I'm only two years older than Brad Pitt, but I look a lot older, which used to greatly frustrate me. It doesn't anymore. I don't have to fit into that category and get trounced by Tom Cruise and Brad.
