        In 2003, the Ad Council partnered with the Children’s Bureau
        and AdoptUSKids on a national adoption recruitment campaign to
        encourage the adoption of children from foster care. PSA’s
        have been developed with a specific annual focus, including
        teens, Spanish language, African-Americans, sibling groups,
        and children 8 and older. The consistent tag line, 'You don’t
        have to be perfect to be a perfect parent', has been used to
        communicate a humorous angle on the seemingly challenging task
        of adopting from foster care. It reassures prospective parents
        that even if not 'perfect,' they have the ability to provide
        the stability and security that children in foster care need
        and deserve.
