Nobody's Child

Imagine you are a child. You've never known your dad. Your mom got hooked on drugs and signed you over as a ward of the state. After living with about a million foster families, you finally end up in a group home with bars on the windows and locks on the doors. You turn 18 years old today. Guess what you get? A 20 dollar bill and a taxi ride to the homeless shelter. Happy birthday, Nobody's Child.

Let's work together to provide solutions to the problems facing kids aging out of the foster care system. Let's make Nobody's Child everybody's child.

Amazing video! What is the song you used? Been looking for it, but keep finding a different song by Hank Snow/ Karen Young "Nobody's Child"

@Tua92DD It's an original called "Nobody's Child". A young lady from Texas is getting ready to record it for an early 2012 release. Her name is Abbey Cone.
