WHYY launches ‘Caring for Kids,’ a civic news exercise on foster care, adoption
Posted by WHYY on December 9, 2025
WHYY News staff is producing “Caring for Kids,” a civic news project that brings attention to the experiences of children living in foster care and adoption, and the people and providers who support their care.
November is National Adoption Month, established about 30 years ago by President Bill Clinton and inspired by President Ronald Reagan and Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, who both while in office designated a week in November to spotlight the needs of foster youth in need of permanent homes.
So it is fitting that the WHYY newsroom would take learnings from a recent pop-up newsroom held last month in Northeast Philadelphia and put them into action.
