A three day radio series beginning today as Dr. Purvis shares information about healing and caring for children from "hard places". Listen online here - Family Life Today explores the research and interventions of Dr. Karyn Purvis and her work at the TCU Institute of Child Development. Healthy touch, infant massage, sensory integration, brain development and attachment are topics covered and also available in her book "The Connected Child".
Very important and life changing information for every parent and for anyone involved in foster care and adoption.

Casey is giving back and imploding Texas Stadium
This is an amazing story in the Dallas Morning News about Casey Rogers! He was formerly in foster care and has now been adopted into a Christian home.
I was on the phone with Becky Lloyd from Asheville, NC this afternoon as she is preparing for the Share His Hope orphan care and adoption conference March 19-20, 2010. She was sharing with me about the amazing foster care ministry of Russell Rogers. Becky then sent this story from today about Russell's son Casey!
