A Home for the Holidays
An Annual Foster Care Adoption Holiday TV Special
Every year for more than 25 years, CBS Television Network presented A Home for the Holidays, an inspirational program featuring uplifting stories of adoption from foster care to help raise awareness of this important social issue.
Why a TV Special?
The idea for A Home for the Holidays was pitched to CBS by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and the Children’s Action Network to build awareness of the thousands of children who are waiting to be adopted from foster care. The annual primetime special shared stories of foster care adoption and has featured performances from some of America’s most popular music artists, including Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, Josh Groban and more.
The Foundation was a proud sponsor of this impactful special since its inception more than 25 years ago.
What to Expect
In between musical acts, the stories of amazing families brought together through foster care adoption were shared. Thousands of people have been inspired to seek more information on becoming an adoptive parent as a direct result of A Home for the Holidays.
