TV commercials urge adoption of older kids

March 15, 2007 -- HCJFS has taken to the airwaves to encourage people to adopt older kids.

Thirty-second commercials will continue to air on Fox 19, My64 and Time Warner Cable (BET, MSN, CNN) through June.

The ads show teens posing questions they face while aging out of the system.

About 100 of the 334 Hamilton County children waiting for families are ages 14-17. Another large share is 10-13.

School of Creative and Performing Arts students served as actors in the ads. Community recruiter Penny Hedrick led the project. PanOptic Video performed production.
