CBS Special: Finding Homes For Kids In Foster Care

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Like the song says, there's no place like home for the holidays.
But what about the kids who don't have forever homes?

That's where the Dave Thomas Foundation comes in...and yes, it's THAT Dave Thomas, the hamburger magnate, himself adopted.

The Dave Thomas Foundation believes every kid needs a permanent home and loving family. There are an estimated 114,550 children in America waiting to be adopted.

Tonight on CBS, a special to raise awareness about this very subject. A host of stars are taking part (including Mira Sorvino, the ladies of "The Talk") and performing, including Maroon 5, Ricky Martin, Nelly, Katy Perry and Melissa Etheridge.
