Tomorrow is Father's day. I used to think about Father's day and Mother's day as being excuses from the card companies to sell more cards. More recently, I started seeing the day for Mom and Dad as a way to celebrate foster and adoptive parents.

Take a few minutes and look at your family. Is there a foster father, adoptive father, step-dad, or biological dad that has impacted your life in positive ways? Do you know a fost-adopt dad? Make the effort to THANK these people. It take a certain kind of person to join the fostadopt community. Our Dad's are a bit like a sunrise - bright and helping us see what new things the day might bring.

Encourage them - our kids need these guys.
