ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011. . . . is that you can call ‘pool party’ and they don’t ask who else is coming.

December 13, 2021

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 . . .

So proud of this girl! Her first time back on the stage since the pandemic and she did such a great job of expressing herself, even in a mask. I’m loving seeing the kids get to do theater again. Gotta love a kid casually rolling up to school in a tux because he has a choir performance later in the day. He wasn’t thrilled with me playing paparazzi but I love it. All of it. Giddy he decided to be in choir this year. Packing up our holiday cards today. I went with the one you guys voted on . . .

December 9, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011.   I’m doing a tv appearance this morning – Mark and I will be on The 700 Club bright and early.  They invited me to talk about adoption, and as such I wanted to re-post some resources in case people come by looking for more information. I’ve written pretty passionately about the global orphan situation recently, and several people have asked: “What can I do if I’m not in a position to adopt?” Adoption is not for . . .
