Reach Out & Touch

It's always surprising and fun when somebody I've blogged about contacts me to say that they've read this humble little blog o' mine. It's happened a couple of times now. I always have a moment where I think Gee, I hope I didn't say anything uncharitable, but I'm not in the habit of slagging people on this blog so that's an irrational fear really. Well, except maybe Ted Haggard...

Remember my post about Rosie's family cruise? I mentioned Charles & Danny, the couple with their 5 kids? Charles has been along to check out what I wrote and also left me a sweet comment on my old picture post. In the process I discovered that Charles & Danny are involved in a non-profit foundation that helps foster kids in group homes, and encourages non-traditional families and single people to become foster parents. There is also a nice background piece about Charles & Danny. If you caught the documentary and were as moved and intrigued about their story as I was, then check it out. While you're there have a look at what the foundation has been able to acheive so far. Moving stuff.
