Five-year-old Aryana wishes for a mom or dad this Christmas

Note: This, my friends, is the kind of bullshit that they sell to the public while pumping "Dreams of Forever Homes" into the heads of the kids.  They take them out to play at the park for a day of fun so that they'll be all happy and bubbly in front of the camera.

This child may very well have a family member out there who loves and misses her.
