December 6, 2017

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. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

A before-and-after of India’s room purge

December 4, 2017

I've been working hard trying to reduce the excess "stuff" in my house. I recently read the book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and while it's practice is a bit extreme, I really did resonate with the idea that clutter only holds us back. I've been ssystematicallypurging every room in the house, but it has been hard to get the kids to buy in. Recently, I had a little "come to Jesus" with my oldest daughter, who has a really hard time throwing things away. I told her we needed to pull . . .

A Foster-Adoption Story

November 29, 2017

Today I'm happy to host an essay from Nicole Opper. Nicole and her wife were feature in the recent PBS series called "The F Word: A foster-to-adopt story" which follows one couple's journey to adopt a child from foster care. We adopted our first child from foster care, and watching their story brought back so many memories! It was the first time in my 36 years of life that I’ve set my alarm for 5am and actually gotten up right when it went off. No snooze button. My parents were staying at a . . .
