Indeed parenting is a difficult job at best but parenting somebody else's children is even more difficult than parenting your own. I have seen so many who do it for the wrong reasons, cash money, and the children get bounced around so much it just makes me so sad. I hope that in time the foster care system as a whole will work out its bugs, these children deserve so much better. Thanks for being a part of their lives.Brenda Nelsonhttp://ronscoupons.com/bsecure-coupons/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-91746615410111418422012-03-01T08:28:50.033-05:002012-03-01T08:28:50.033-05:00I appreciated the wisdom in this, and I especially...I appreciated the wisdom in this, and I especially liked the last paragraph with the Lewis reference: Evil is boring sameness, and goodness is creative and varied.

Much that appears easy on a map may be virtually un-navigable once you can see the actual landform. On the other hand, many intimidating looking trails are not really that hard when you finally put your foot to them. <br /><br />View the map but trust your eyes.Dubbahdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075702513873912334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-71184727020158416422012-02-29T03:44:06.379-05:002012-02-29T03:44:06.379-05:00This could be a textbook for children's assess...This could be a textbook for children's assessors "watch out for your biases".
