While some have special needs, many face more barriers finding adoptive families simply because they are older or are a part of a larger sibling group,” adds Dr. Wong.  Bergman always invites beloved foster children to join in on the festivities and experience what it feels like to be treated as a VIP.   http://www.foxla.com/wednesdays-child
