Waiting Children on CBS SpecialWatch, Tivo, Tape, Record.

Make sure you get to see this great special coming up on CBS next Friday.

CBS in conjunction with the Dave Thomas Foundation for waiting children is putting on a terrific prime special.

How do I know it'll be terrific? Look who's in it:


  • Singers that I love:




Rod Stewart, Five for Fighting, John Legend, Katharine McPhee and Mary Mary.


  • Inspirational Adoptive Families:




The Arguilez Family
Nine-year-old Ricky and his six-year-old sister Isabella had lived in five different foster homes by the time they appeared on THE 7TH ANNUAL A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS in 2005. "We had been waiting a long time… I worried we might get separated," said Ricky. But the siblings' long wait was finally over when Richard and Gloria Arguilez saw them on the special last year and immediately moved forward to adopt them.

The White Family
Victor and Dawn White adopted their first daughter, Jimisha, in 2004. "I don't think I started living until I met my parents," said Jimisha. With the success of their first adoption, the Whites turned to the Wendy's Wonderful Kids program to find their second daughter, Myricle. "I knew I had met people that really loved me," said Myricle. This holiday season, the Whites chose to complete their family by adopting their third daughter, two-year-old Jalaia.
