Waiting Child Carrol Lambert
News Channel 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.
Kelly became involved two years ago to help bring a smile to a waiting child's face and promote the program.
