Hands Across The Water

November is National Adoption Month, and there are so many children that need families and homes. It is about human connection that provides support and a sense of belonging. Hands Across The Water is an adoption and foster care agency that has been in Ann Arbor for 25 years now. WEMU's David Fair talked about the importance of adoption and fostering kids with executive director Katie Page Sander.

It can be a daunting task to become a foster parent or to adopt a child. Children in foster care face so many challenges, and finding adoptive homes becomes more difficult the older they get. Ann Arbor-based Hands Across the Water helps navigate those turbulent times. Its services continue to expand to better help all involved get through the process in healthy and happy ways. Executive director Katie Page Sander joined WEMU's David Fair to share her stories.
