Child Movies

Child movies, in QuickTime(tm) format, have been added to each child listing on HCADOPT.ORG. Pick the movie camera icon on a child's page to view his or her movie.

Each movie gives you a brief interactive introduction to a child. However, the movie is only a brief clip of longer movies created by PanOptic Media of Cincinnati, Ohio.

A videotape (VHS) containing full movies of all the children available for adoption through the Hamilton County Department of Human Services is available free by calling 513-632-6366. Please refer to the "Making Dreams Come True" video when calling. The video is updated every three months.

Troubleshooting:

Q: I pick the movie camera button and nothing happens.
A: The movie window requires Javascript to open. Please make sure Javascript is enabled in your browser.

Q: The movie window opens but nothing happens.
A: There are two possible answers to this question:

1.  If you see the large QuickTime logo (Q) and/or the movie controls in the movie window then your movie is downloading. Please note that each movie is approximately 500KB in size, so the movie may take several minutes to begin playing on slow internet connections.

2.  If you do not see the QuickTime logo in the movie window (the window is either blank or contains a "broken" icon) then you do not have the QuickTime plugin installed in your browser. If you don't already have QuickTime, you can download it by picking the button below.

In the coming weeks, this movie area will contain quick links to all child movies. Please check back soon.
