Happy Thanksgiving All,

I am spreading the word about three For Kids’ Sake! Radio Specials airing this fall in the US and Canada. The first, described below, is about children's search for family. To find out where the programs are airing near you, please check our updated station list at http://www.forkidssakeradio.com/listeners/index.html for local broadcast dates and times. You can also check our list of station Web sites to find out which stations stream their programs online as well as sign up to receive email notification as new stations come on board.

Of interest to anyone concerned about what today’s kids struggle to overcome, these special programs contain messages of hope and powerful demonstrations of what works to change children’s lives, even in the most desperate circumstances. This is radio that will get you thinking in new ways about the lives of children.

-- I Want A Family - Kids Search for Belonging recounts the stories of children traveling the rocky road from birthparents to foster caregivers and back again, seeking and only sometimes finding the comforting shelter of family.

-- From Every Angle – Responding to Kids in Crisis discovers bureaucracies with “heart” that are helping to rebuild young lives. Delinquency, abuse, neglect, truancy are all pieces in the puzzle that child protection agencies, courts, and educators deal with when families come apart.

-- Just Dying to Eat - Food, Fat, and Kids’ Futures documents the lives of families struggling with child obesity and young women fighting the demons of anorexia and bulimia. This program looks for solutions and provides food for thought about eating choices in the land of plenty.

For Kids' Sake! Radio, an award-winning resource for parents, child advocates and teachers, produces riveting stories that explore social and cultural issues affecting children and teens. Please help us spread the word about our trio of radio Specials.
