DESCRIPTION:
(from Hallmark's press release, July 2011) "I'm sure you've never received a letter like this before, but I want to make several things clear... I pay for myself, find my own scholarships, get myself a job," began the letter from 17-year-old Alex Chivescu whose successful search for new foster parents comes to life in the Hallmark Movie Channel Original Premiere, "Finding a Family," Saturday, October 15 (8 p.m. ET/PT, 7C). Emmy(R) Award winning actress and two-time Golden Globe(R) nominee Kim Delaney ("NYPD Blue," "Army Wives"), newcomer Jared Abrahamson, Sarah-Jane Redmond ("Life Unexpected") and Paul McGillion ("Stargate: Atlantis") all star in the film produced by Emmy(R) nominated Tom Patricia of "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story." The film is based on the true story of Alex Chivescu, a ward of the state of Michigan, who knowing he cannot be emancipated from the foster care system, searches for a new mom and dad within the school district that he believes can fulfill his lifelong dream of attending an Ivy League university.
