We ordinary citizens try to live good lives, and on the news, we see war, bad politics, and imminent disease. It turns out that almost in secret, there are entire groups of people trying to make the world a better place. I love the idea of "be the change" and "big citizenship." Thanks for sharing this and other stories about the great things people are doing and ways the rest of us can help.

]]> Comment on Tyler Harlow’s Ride Across America by Jeanne Nutter http://outofthefostercarebox.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/tyler-harlow%e2%80%99s-ride-across-america/#comment-79 Jeanne Nutter Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:41:18 +0000 http://outofthefostercarebox.wordpress.com/?p=384#comment-79 It is so wonderful to see what Tyler is doing...as a supervisor with the State of Wisconsin Special Needs Adoption Program, we are constantly advocating for sibling placements. We know how important it is for kids to keep those life long connections. Kids are often striped of everything that is them when when they enter to public child welfare system. They leave behind their families, their school, their friends, their "stuff", their pets...all of the things they cherish. Many times they are seperated from their siblings. It is a loss that is oftentimes too much to bear for kids. They respond to these great losses in so many different ways....we must do what we can every day to keep these losses to a minimun....we must advocate for kids to stay with their siblings...we must be the voices for these kids who cannot speak for themselves...thank you Tyler for your courage and dedication to the children in the foster care system....I will be cheering for you and keeping you and your journey in my heart every day...

My son and I just made it :) Only change I would make is cooking it for 10 minutes instead of 12. My first batch came out a little too well done when we left it in for 12 min. Thanks!

Is there a way to get the word out...that there is hope for change in the foster care world? I know that Judy has family in CA: has she made any contacts locally?
