New partnership brings videos of our kids who need families

Hamilton County Job and Family Services celebrates this Valentine’s Day loving our new partnership with WCPO-TV and Grant Me Hope, a Michigan organization founded to promote children who are available for adoption. The partnership starts Sunday, Feb. 14.

The videos will highlight the child’s personality and will focus on older children who need permanent homes. The first video to air will feature Monarika, a 16-year-old Bengals fan who likes to cook, sing and watch musicals. She wmonarikasmallants to be an interpreter for the hearing impaired. She hopes to find a family that will support her at her volleyball and soccer games and show her how to love. You can find out more about Monarika here on her page at hckids.org.

“Our website, HCKids, traditionally features a lot of information about our wonderful foster children, including videos and pictures,” said Moira Weir, director of Job and Family Services. “But this partnership allows us to introduce our teens to thousands of viewers, instead of passively waiting for them to find us. We really appreciate this opportunity and are excited about finding forever families for the teens we feature.”

Take a look at our first video and tune in Sundays between 8 and 9 a.m.
