From New York to France to Spain to Tokyo, showing up to support @aus_rivers is a tough job but I do it out of the goodness of my heart. Now working on a list of new countries I’d like him to get gigs in where I can come “support” him more.

Wednesday’s Child: Gabriella, Emma, Diego, Antonio, and Jackson
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.

A gift and a challenge || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from December 2008.
