					<description><![CDATA[Ashley your article in the August 5, 2022 Grand Haven  Tribune was spot on. I can speak to being  a foster because I was raised in that system. By the grace of God my last placement was a turning point that led me to be the good human I feel I am today. But the ghosts of my former life, and bio mother never left me even after years of therapy. I have since forgiven her and others involved in my childhood trauma. But truly, without  a loving, Christian foster home I would not have survived. Keep doing your loving work with children who need you.

					<description><![CDATA[Amazing honesty, Ashley, as you describe your growth on this foster care providing journey.  Over time your children will learn so many lessons on compassion, caring, watching out for the less fortunate.  As you say, doing the right thing often is harder than the wrong thing and takes courage, sacrifice, and conviction...all of which build integrity and mitigate against the &quot;me first&quot; mentality.
Thank you for stepping into the breach for children who inherit difficulties outside their control.]]></description>
