This morning Mike Todd sent me a new report from the Kaiser Network about sexual violence against girls, including young children. This is exactly Adanna's story, who is the main character in the novel I wrote entitled, Scared. Writing about these experiences caused the publisher to put a 'warning label' in the book.

Unfortunately Mead Johnson will not donate the formula (even to another non-profit) if they know it is for a cause outside of the country. As soon as…

From Caleb’s parents’ blog: This photo was taken as soon as Caleb was brought into the orphanage after being found abandoned.
