lifetime movie

I just saw a commercial previewing a movie about a boy in fostercare. It is called America and it will be on Lifetime the end of February, I think the 28th. Maybe it will be good.

There are actually about 4-5 shows on Lifetime on that Saturday dealing with foster types of situations.
Our foster agency said we can get 2 hrs credit for each show watched...goes under our media hours for the year.

My case worker just told me the same thing and that I would have to write a one page essay on what I learned.

If you get a chance, read the book. I didn't see the movie, but the book was so awesome.
Sad though
