		<description><![CDATA[There are so many children in and around the Houston area who are awaiting adoption. We hear about the statistics in class but i never remember them so i&#8217;ve finally looked them up. You can see for yourself the sad reality of these orphans. They are, in fact, orphans. They have no parents &#8211; if [...]]]></description>

Lots of people are very curious about Carter&#8217;s background and why he is in care. They are equally curious about Gracey and her story. We completely understand your curiosity and will tell you what we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for praying faithfully for us yesterday as we went to our first visit. I know God was with us and after a little initial nervousness, I was completely relaxed. We got to meet birthmom and birthdad, maternal grandmother and paternal grandparents. All went very well. 
For privacy reasons, I can&#8217;t really say much [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m considering taking this site offline for a while. For privacy reasons, I just want to make sure we aren&#8217;t &#8220;found&#8221; by the birthfamily in this situation. Anyway, one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I found out today from Carter and Gracey&#8217;s caseworker that the primary goal for them is adoption. The secondary goal is reunification. From what I understand, the goal usually starts out as primary reunification and secondary adoption so we think it is good news that theirs is the other way around.
It&#8217;s not reason to [...]]]></description>
