Happy Turkey Day, Friends…Bloggers….and random internet searchers who somehow wind up here.

I can’t let Thanksgiving Day go by without my Thursday list (the one I seem to have abandoned lately):

Today, I am thankful for:

A God who is big enough to protect a child still in the mother’s womb.

Infertility.

A wonderful husband who is truly my partner in life and this thing we call parenting.

Two beautiful kids who have taught me more about God’s love than a lifetime of study.

A support system of family and friends.

God’s faithfulness.

Families who answer the call to adopt older kids and teenagers.

Foster parents who lay down their lives for the kids they care for.

Other moms who just “get it”.

As a former foster child, my thanks goes out to foster parents and child welfare professionals who recognize the capabilities and potential of children in your care — and are courageous enough to fight for them to receive support and services.

Please tell me about your experiences in advocating for foster children:

1.) Examples of when it has been successful
2.) Roadblocks when it hasn’t
3.) Techniques that you have found to be most effective

Your insights will be used in a 2008 conference to ‘train the trainers’ of every county foster parent and social worker in my state. The information that you share can be anonymous.

Looking forward to hearing from you…
