Waiting Child
Newschannel 8 has aired its weekly "Waiting Child" program since 1980. The children featured are in permanent custody of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and are looking for adoptive homes. The children have special needs or are considered hard to place because of their age or because a sibling group wants to be adopted together.

Newschannel 8 anchor, Carole Lambert, has produced "Waiting Child" since 1990 and is extremely pleased with the results. Since its inception, more than 4,000 children have been adopted as a result of the program.

"Waiting Child" is aired weekly, Wednesdays, on Newschannel 8 at 4 p.m. and Saturdays on Newschannel 8 at 10 p.m. If you would like adoption information, call Tulsa County DHS Child Welfare at 918-581-2309 or check out the DHS website at www.okdhs.org/adopt.
