Sad

This week we are going to focus on emotions. We prompt you with one word and you translate it the best you can through your lens. Try hard as you can not to use a human face to reflect that emotion. Let's see Sad...



I work for a non-profit adoption agency. All the children we help to place with families for adoption are in the California foster system. Here is one of the posters in our office that states "118,000 children in foster care dream of a permanent, loving family." It is sad that so many thousands of children experience neglect and/or abuse. So many cases are due to the results of parental drug abuse.

On the up side we do get to be on the positive side of helping to find these children permanent families.

This is a very sad fact, and there are so many people unable to have families, but they always want babies. I feel for these kids. Very moving.
