Ad Council | Teen Adoption

You can’t imagine the reward

Thousands of teens are looking for a home.

The foster care system is packed with teens. And while they're almost adults, they still need the love, support and encouragement a family provides. Working with the Ad Council, Adopt US Kids and the US Department of Health and Human Services, we wanted to show a side of adoption few get to see—the emotionally resonate moments that define a new family.
