Today we published @lifehacker's Big Talks project—a 15-part series to help parents navigate not just the "The Talk" but ALL the big topics we have to address during our kids' childhoods, from porn and sexism to online safety and suicide (links in thread): lifehacker.com/how-to-prepar…
Over the weekend, you folks granted 300 wishes for kids in foster care PLUS donated an additional $6,500 in general donations to @OneSimpleWish! The amount of love and joy you sent out into the universe… thank you. You all give me hope.
In 2015, when we were brand new foster parents, a 3-
year-old boy moved into our home. He had one box of
belongings to his name, most of which was clothing
that clearly didn't fit him. After a year with us, he went
back to biological family. (Continued in thread)

If you grant one, please tell me what it was. I really want to know if Ramadhan got their Mickey Mouse toy or
Carlisa got those "stylish boots."
Two weeks ago, more than 7 years after he left our home, our first foster son moved back in with us. These kids have been through so much and have so little of their own; that's why granting their wishes has such a huge impact. Please grant one if you can. onesimplewish.org/giving/meg…
