Organization
89.7 WKSU Public Radio, News Series
Description
This compelling series focused on the many facets of adoption and foster care, with the state of Ohio as a case study. Subjects as varied as adopting foreign orphans, non-traditional family structures, post-adoption services, and group residences present a fuller picture of the overwhelming challenges and rewards involved in bringing children into a home to create families.
Aided by a strong design concept portraying family scenarios, this 9-part series came alive through interactive features, audio reports, transcripts and supplemental web resources.
