That a video on youtube is only a small portion of the whole thing. They made us watch the entire video (15/20 mins) for foster/adopt certification training. It left the room speechless.

does anyone have any ideas where to find the whole thing? I'd love to get a copy or copies and pass them out locally.
Painfully, a lot of it described R to a T. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it's so mind boggling on how broken the system is, and I know we're all doing our small little part.....I still wonder how in the world I could do more......I still wonder why our society values life so little that this actually goes on in our country......

I don't know. We saw the full thing (or something very similar) when we went through training too.

Boy, just when I thought I was nearing my wit's end, I viewed it. Gave me renewed strength & determination. I'm sending it to my parents who just don't understand why the "tough love" approach doesn't work with dd
