		<description><![CDATA[Next week I go to court for Ava and Ethan and I&#8217;m currently working on my court report. How can I recommend to the court what is in the best interest of these children? I have so much information from people who obviously love the kids but most of it is unbelievably conflicting. Statements are [...]]]></description>

Pray that if my phone rings God will give me the right words. I can&#8217;t share all the facts with her but I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the question everyone&#8217;s asking about Ava and Ethan&#8217;s foster mom. The caseworkers think she&#8217;s nuts and has just gone way overboard. My own coordinator even got snippy about how foster mom shouldn&#8217;t even be thinking in terms of adoption because the kids aren&#8217;t technically on a &#8220;non-relative adoption&#8221; plan. Foster mom wants to know [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting there a little sick at my stomach, looking around and wondering about the stories of the people around me. Sadness in some faces, regret on others. Anger, resentment and a sense of righteous indignation by those who are likely most guilty. I wondered about their past in the same breath I hoped [...]]]></description>

Does that mean if I am becoming part of the solution I can complain all I want? Can I vent and storm and rage about what I see and what I think and what I know? You already [...]]]></description>

Encouraging information on baby.
Bad news on Stella.

Very bad news on my cousin.

I have no doubt that God will give us what we need to face whatever it is He brings to us. I do find myself quoting &#8220;do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Later this morning I&#8217;ll be taking Christmas gifts to Stella. In her new foster home. She&#8217;s been there for a little over a week now. I&#8217;ve lost count of how many homes she&#8217;s been in since entering care and I don&#8217;t have the heart to count them anymore.
Sometimes I feel like I&#8217;m beating my head [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frustrated.
Sometimes I feel like there is not much to look forward to in her future. I&#8217;d give anything to change that but she has to choose to participate in her future. She has to choose to participate and cooperate in getting to where she wants to be. I don&#8217;t know if she can.
More late.
