The InVisible Kids Project

I want to introduce a project that I am working on with a dear friend of mine, Holly Schlaack.  She has worked on the front line of the Child Protection System as a case worker and GAL.  She is also the author of "Invisible Kids".  She has started a non-profit organization that is working to make the needed changes in the Child Protection System.  The way the project works is by collecting data and stories from the people who have been touched by the system in some way: system employees, foster parents, foster children, and community members.  The information will be used to assess where the system needs work and what are its strengths.  The web site will also offer tools of support to these people.
I am so honored to be a part of such a worthy project.  I hope you will check  out the site and pass it along to those you think could benefit from the site!

Here we go again!

On November 7, 2013 a new little bundle of joy arrived at our home.  She is 13months old and she is absolutely adorable.  It took her a couple of weeks to settle in but now her little spirit is shining bright.  It was very apparent that she wasn't sure if we were a temporary home or somewhere she was going to be hanging out for a while.  She was definitely holding back.  Now she is a smiley and happy-go-lucky little baby.  What more could we hope for?  Each of us admitted that we were hesitant to let her into our hearts for fear of it breaking again but it didn't take long before the door to our hearts flung open wide and embraced this sweet little angel.  Love is a funny thing-it just keeps coming!

Peace!
