You are right on that this is a problem in the public schools. If you remember, we finally gave up and put our children in a local Lutheran school. We have had absolutely no problems. The church has a lot of member families with adopted children and the head pastor has a mixed race grandchild. The issue just does not ever come up. We feel veryfortunate. Ed. Diet Soda or Regular? They'll both make you fat! - Blog Entry05 Oct 2007 07:40 PM Hey, Lisa, I have not been on the site in a while. I drink about 6-8 Diet Cokes a day and the article gave me something to think about. By the way, I am well into my maintainence stage and have gained 10 pounds back of the 80 I lost, but I am working out hard every morning at 5:30 at the YMCA, alternating a wild workout they call "boot camp" and "spinning" on the indoor bikes. My doctor is happy with my weight, some of it is muscle. And I still wear the same sizes, BP is 116/65, it will be a lifetime struggle, which I am winning right now.

I'm so glad that you get to be her grandmother.

Babies Produced by the Drug Culture - Blog Entry10 Mar 2007 01:06 PM Thanks, Traci, I don't know what can be done either. There are not enough families to take these children at this time. That breaks my heart. Babies Produced by the Drug Culture - Blog Entry09 Mar 2007 03:47 PM Thanks, AKA, we are the ones being blessed. Getting My Mind Right: My Doctor Said I Have Lost Enough Weight - Blog Entry08 Mar 2007 09:56 PM Thanks Lisa, this time I am going to do better than in the past as I have my back against the wall, getting older with young children, etc. Thanks for being a cheerleader for me. There is a Foster Child on Your Doorstep - Blog Entry08 Mar 2007 04:21 PM I have written a number of blogs on foster care, it is something that my wife and I are very passionate about. I hesitate to recommend that you try to talk him into it. It is very, very hard. It will put a tremendous strain on both of you and your marriage. I don't think it will work unless both of you are fully on board. I wrote a blog with this url - http://adoption.families.com/blog/both-spouses-have-to-be-committed. My spiritual basis is all of the times in the OT where God says that He will be a father to the fatherless. It is a holy calling. Sorry I can't help you more. Getting My Mind Right: My Doctor Said I Have Lost Enough Weight - Blog Entry08 Mar 2007 12:44 PM Yes, I know it too, but am now going to have to live it. Thanks for the comment.
