		<description><![CDATA[Wylddad prompted me to write about my thoughts on when/how to tell our children that they are adopted with this post.
The fact is, we&#8217;re never going to tell them. 
Before you start rioting, let me explain.   
I don&#8217;t want to sit our children down one day and rock their world by telling them [...]]]></description>

While he was there, someone told Carter to go to his daddy and Carter smiled, pointed at Toolman and said, &#8220;Daaa eeeee&#8221; as he reached for him. Obviously, this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you again for all of your prayers for yesterday. I was really nervous about going but it all turned out just fine.
Family court is a sad place to spend the morning. I saw several cases go before the judge, many where bio parents didn&#8217;t even show up. Often, no one even knew where to [...]]]></description>

I pray that God protects Carter and Gracey&#8217;s future; that He brings people into their lives to teach them about His love; that He guards their hearts and minds; and that He keeps them with us forever.

		<description><![CDATA[There are lots and lots and lots of debates and issues floating around in the world of adoption these days. I could link to them but I don&#8217;t want to because I&#8217;m likely just to tick someone off and get a million comments about how insensitive I am.
And that&#8217;s not news to anyone. Right?  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shock.
Excitement.
Fear.
Longing.
Uncertainty.
Hopeful.
Sick.
Thrilled.
These are just some of the things you feel when you find out that the birthmother of your children is pregnant again. Knowing that in Texas, CPS will automatically take custody of a child born to parents who have already had their parental rights terminated by the court. Knowing that the first place CPS will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My initial excitement/worry/fear/hope of the baby news has subsided and I am able to think much more clearly now. Taking a step back and looking at the situation is always helpful for me, even when it is entirely out of my control!
First off, we are assuming that there is, in fact, a pregnancy. I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>
