Mary Beth Evans Records Radio Spots to Promote Fostering and Adoption in Antelope Valley

Soap star Mary Beth Evans, best known for her performance as Kayla Brady Johnson on NBC’s daytime drama DAYS OF OUR LIVES, is the new voice of RaiseAChild.US in Antelope Valley, California. Two radio PSAs (public service announcements) recorded by Evans will be playing in late May on stations KGMX, KOSS, KMVE and KTPI to promote fostering and adoption by the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Two radio spots will air. One PSA invites “all kinds of families” to foster and adopt. The other PSA specifically encourages the LGBT community to build families through fostering and adoption.

There are currently 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system. In an effort to reduce that number and find safe and loving homes for those children, RaiseAChild.US encourages the LGBT community to build their families through fostering and adoption. In June, RaiseAChild.US will be partnering with Penny Lane, a public adoption agency in Antelope Valley with offices throughout Southern California, to reach new prospective parents. Through RaiseAChild.US’s media campaigns and outreach in the last 18 months, the organization has already recruited 800 prospective parents.
