"One Kid at a Time: Adopting and Raising a Child Nobody Wanted"
GUEST: Jake Dekker
More than one hundred thousand American children are in need of a forever home, Jake Dekker discusses with
Allen and our audience his book, One Kid at a Time, which recounts the heartwarming story about a single,
successful man who adopted a child no one else wanted. Dekker has made it a priority to share the challenges
we face and difficulties the troubled Foster Care system places on our nation. Most of all, he forces us to
acknowledge the American-born children who have been abandoned, abused, and neglected, while at the same time
sharing the love that 10 year old Danny has brought into his life.
