"Family means everything to me, so I’m joining @nickkroll and the lovely folks at #bigmouthnetflix in raising awareness for a non-profit called You Gotta Believe, which facilitates teen adoptions. Their motto is "It's Never Too Late For Family" and their goal is to work toward the day when no young person leaves foster care without the unconditional lifetime commitment of a family.

I am adopted (you may or may not remember) and have always been so grateful to have the family I do. Whether you are expanding your family or starting one, consider adoption."

The You Gotta Believe charity also responded, posting: "We are honored and blown away to be part of this #foreverfamily campaign. Nothing is more important than family. Thank you thank you thank you for everyone contributing to raise awareness for the urgent need for loving permanent families for older kids in #fostercare!"
