Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system.

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009. I bought The Book of Virtues: A Treasury of Great Moral Stories years ago, back when I was a grad student and children were just a faint idea in a distant future.

Anticipatory Behaviors & Haiti: Where The Good Toys Go | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. They boys are en route to Haiti. I just talked to Mark and Jafta. They are all settled in to their hotel in the Miami Airport. Yes - in the airport, as in right next door to the gate where they landed. Pretty cool, huh? I'm not sure why we've never done that before. It's so much smarter to show up to Haiti showered and rested, instead of on the tail-end of a long red eye flight. Today was a hard day for me. I've been so . . .

Update from Haiti | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. I don't have the energy to write tonight, so I am going to cut and paste the updates I've gotten today about Keanan. Shelley is sending them - she is a totally lovely missionary who runs the orphanage. He is at her house tonight before moving hospitals tomorrow. I think I've mentioned it before, but I absolutely adore all of the people who work for Heartline Haiti. They are doing all they can, but healthcare in Haiti is tough, . . .
