Surely Gehenna has frozen over. Do you think this is one of the signs of the apocalypse<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships hosted adoption leaders from across the country Wednesday to talk about how to better serve the needs of kids in foster care.
\nKelly Rosati, adoptive mother of four and senior director of Focus on the Family’s Sanctity of Human Life department, was among those in attendance.
\n“The Obama administration is really listening,” she said, “and wanted to know from those on the front lines what could be better done to serve the kids in America’s foster care system.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, I think it’s a very good idea for Christian organizations to work with the president in areas in which they agree as long as he doesn’t use them for propaganda purposes (as he did with the Cole and 9\/11 families). I’m just shocked that Focus on the Family would do it \ud83d\ude42 And since the Christians have been praying for the foster care system<\/a>, it’s smart to be part of the talks involving the adoption of the kids in the system. Better to be part of the discussion than sitting on the sidelines criticizing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
