Keeping Kids Healthy: Adoption - A Forever Family

What's it like to adopt, or to be adopted? Maybe you have been thinking about adopting a child. Or perhaps you are wondering, "Will I love an adopted child as much as a child I gave birth to?" Or, "What if the birth mother changes her mind?" Or you may not even know how to adopt. What kind of adoption is right for you and your family? Private? International? Foster Care? Regardless of the path, adoption can greatly enrich your life. Join host, Dr. Winnie King as we meet several families who have adopted through different paths (private, international and foster-care), a pediatrician specializing in adoption (and mother of three adopted children) and you'll hear the remarkable story of a man who, at four years old, entered the foster care system with his six-month old brother and now, along with his wife, has three biological daughters and four adopted sons.
