Segment filmed at Bannockburn Baptist Church.

Often, when adoption is mentioned, many instantly picture young children or babies, but many children waiting are much older.

Mark, 15, is one of the teenagers across Central Texas waiting for a forever family.

He said that he doesn't get to play team sports at school, but he loves to watch football.

He can be shy, which worries him about adoption, but Mark is eager for the stability which a forever family can bring.

For more information about this 15-year-old, contact the Adoption Coalition of Texas by calling (512) 301-2825 or by visiting AdoptionCoalitionTX.org.
