Last Day for Bill Filing - Kids Needing Adoption

Yesterday, March 9th, was the last die that bills could be filed. As always, there was a flurry of last minute filings. I filed several last minute bills myself. The filing deadline is one of those milestones that mark our movement toward gathering ourselves up, finishing our work and going home.

In the rotunda today is the Arkansas Heart Galleries. It is a collection of photos of young people and children that are in the State's foster care that could be adopted. As they word it "children in foster care seeking forever families". The handout they gave stated there were more than 500 children waiting to be adopted in Arkansas. The children are beautiful souls in need of help. I have a very good friend who is a foster parent and has adopted several of those in his care. He and his wife are special people and it is incredible how much love they share with those in need.
