I LOVE YOU KEY CLUBBERS! The universal spirit of caring for those less fortunate abounds at CHS. While the animals at the shelter are important and a worthy cause, I'd say kids with malaria ANYWHERE on the planet are a higher priority. Since when does one have to examine what a needy or less fortunate person "has done for us" before we follow what Christ instructed "and love our neighbor as ourself," or "whatever we do for the least...we do for him." The Key Club at CHS exemplifies what we all should be doing. Paying attention to the needs of those in our own community and around the globe, and trying to make a difference any way we can. When was the last time any of us got busy, and organized in a way that could raise 2000.00 in a week for ANY cause?
Joanna David, YOU ROCK! (And I love you at state as well!)
As your former religion teacher, you make me PROUD.

In response to thelorax, and as the parent of foreign born children, and someone that is pretty active working with DHS to recruit foster homes for kids, I can say that foreign adoption really has nothing to do with children in foster care not having permanent homes. Most kids in foster care are not available for adoption yet, and many may not ever be available because they have natural parents that have not relinquished their parental rights, or had them taken away by a court system. The real reason why foreign adoption has become an avenue for parents is because of abortion in this country drastically reducing the number of infants born and relinquished, and single mothers. Whereas many years ago it was quite shocking for a young woman to become pregnant outside of marriage, much less parent the child she bore, now it is almost a norm to keep the child if it is not aborted. Therefore, if parents who cannot become pregnant for whatever reason want to parent, they must go outside of this country to countries where abortion is not so easily obtained.
Congratulations, Erica and Brent on this new edition. I've been following your journey (I'm someone from your hometown), and I'm so blessed just reading about it. While most people may think that Lucy is the lucky one, I know in fact, that you guys are feeling quite lucky right now.
