		<title>Advocating for a life</title>
		<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>

		<title>Procrastinators Anonymous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello. My name is Ebenezer and I am a procrastinator. I want to tell you my story but I think I&#8217;ll wait until next week&#8217;s meeting.
I&#8217;ve finally found the root of my writer&#8217;s block. It&#8217;s not inspiration or motivation. It&#8217;s not lack of something to say &#8211; let&#8217;s face it, NOT having something to say [...]]]></description>

		<title>back by unpopular demand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I got an email from a friend the other day asking me why the posting stopped. I can sum that up in two words:
I&#8217;m lazy.
or maybe:
I&#8217;m busy.
or maybe:
I&#8217;m uninspired.
or maybe:
&#8230;. nope. I&#8217;m just lazy.
It&#8217;s sad how many times a week I file away a thought or story I want to write about. If only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Probability of adopting an infant through foster care</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I wish I could send an email to a person based on how they got to my blog. I can see the search engine terms used to get here but I&#8217;d often like to know who stopped by. Okay. that sounds wierd. 
Yesterday, someone landed here by searching for &#8220;probability of adopting an infant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saying Grace in &#8216;Redneck&#8217;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite thing about blog stats is reading what a person searched for to get to my site. For example, I see &#8220;Ebenezer&#8221; regularly and then random things that I must have mentioned somewhere. I used to get a lot of poo related searches&#8230;.don&#8217;t know why.   That reminds me. I haven&#8217;t posted about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bizarre-o</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So remember that post yesterday about feeling so sick for foster mom? I really was feeling just horrible&#8230; that sinking feeling in your gut?
Surely this isn&#8217;t the case but I kinda get the feeling that I may have been more upset about it than she is. I know that sounds crazy but&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Empty Arms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ava and Ethan will be moving to a family member&#8217;s home on Friday. Pray for Foster mom who will have to make peace with that decision and will suffer a great loss. 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>

		<title>My article.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago I was asked to write an article for Adoptive Famlies magazine about adopting infants/toddlers through the foster care system. Below is an edited version of what is in the magazine. After I submitted my article, they edited it. For this post I re-edited it to include more of the story [...]]]></description>

		<title>Desperate or Delusional?</title>
		<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>
