Script in English
MVO:Do you overcook your pasta? Do you mix your lights with your darks? And tell long complicated jokes that have no punch line? Do you have trouble wrapping gifts? Sound like a hyena when singing Happy Brithday? And have no idea how the metric system works? Well, if you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you may have what it takes to adopt a teen from foster care. Because teens don't need perfection, they need you. So, if you can't tie a Windsor knot, Forget to defrost the chicken, Can't tell a latte from a cappuccino. Confuse North and South Dakota, Overuse commas, Throw a Frisbee like it's a flounder, And still believe kids really do love lima beans, broccoli and brussel sprouts. It's ok, you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent. There are thousands of teens in foster care who would love to put up with you. For more information on how you can adopt, call 1-888-200-4005 or go to adoptuskids.org.
