<p>I think adoption or providing foster care is one of the most noble vocations one can have in life. I should know.</p>
<p>My daughter is adopted.</p>
<p>Not by me but by my Husband.</p>
<p>It was the best thing we ever did. When you show love to children, they will love you back. This rings true for me when I see my Husband and my daughter together. I have always been grateful that this loving man came into my life to complete us. What a difference this has made in our life.</p>
<p>How I wish other kids would find other compassionate and loving people to care for them. You could make a difference too in a child&#8217;s life. <a href="http://www.adoptuskids.org/">Adopt Us Kids </a>can show you how.</p>

<blockquote><p>“All children deserve a safe, happy life — including the 496,000 American children and youth in foster care. Young people in foster care especially need nurturing adults on their side because their own families are in crisis and unable to care for them.</p>
<p>Each May, we salute the compassionate people who make a difference by serving as foster parents, relative caregivers, mentors, advocates, social workers, and volunteers. Thanks to these unsung heroes, many formerly abused or neglected children and teens will either safely reunite with their parents, be cared for by relatives, or be adopted by loving families.”</p></blockquote>

<p>How many of you have ever lost a loved one? Did you find yourself wishing that you had told them that you loved them, more often? Do you wonder what your own children will remember of you after you&#8217;ve made the journey to the great beyond? Now you don&#8217;t have to wonder.</p>
<p>Our Wednesday bloggy giveaway item is called &#8220;Precious Note.&#8221; It is an inspiration taken from a dying mother&#8217;s wish to leave behind memories for her daughter. The kit contains personalized note cards, a pen, a picture frame and a box to keep the precious notes in. The idea is to write a little note on each card, whenever a thought strikes you, then tuck the whole box away for your child. It is an excellent way to deliver your words of wisdom and love, from beyond the grave. The kit can also be used for foster kids, grandkids, military personnel, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>Please take a moment to visit <a href="http://www.preciousnote.com/">www.preciousnote.com</a> to read the story behind Precious Note. The story is a heart warming one and it will probably bring tears to your eyes! If you are interested in winning the kit, please leave a comment describing how you intend to use it.</p>
<p>Keep checking back this week for more fabulous giveaways! The bloggy giveaway party is a week long affair!</p>
