    I’m always looking for more post ideas. These prompts have given me some great thoughts to start several posts for May.

    Don’t forget but May is also National Foster Care month…so, if you’re a foster or adoptive parent, professional in the field, someone who lived through foster care/adoption, or anything related, you could write about what that means for you, as well. Maybe even link up to a foster care or adoption agency for those readers who may be inspired. If you need suggestions: your state’s agency, The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, National Foster Parent Association, North American Council on Adoptable Children, or AdoptUSKids.org
