Though she had always been visible in her children’s lives, getting clean allowed Miller to take an active parenting role. “I stepped in,” Miller said. “I stepped up. I got my life back in order and my children were there for me the whole time.” In 2005, Miller’s mother died. Miller had her children move in with her, but since she wasn’t their legal guardian, she “knew anybody at any time could take them away from me.” Seven years sober, Miller was the natural choice to be her children’s caretaker, but regaining custody meant one judge would have to override the previous decisions to take it away, said Linda Coon, Miller’s lawyer and the chairwoman for the Chicago Bar Association’s legislative subcommittee for adoption law. When she took on the case, Coon said she wanted to establish a process for Miller’s specific situation so that the outcome would not have to depend upon how willing a judge was to change a previous decision. “I am not aware of another state that has this,” Coon said. “There must be a growing recognition of this problem. There are kids whose parents are really willing and able to take them back.”
Coon said she hopes to establish a program in which volunteer attorneys help parents in similar situations to Miller’s. Rep. Sara Feigenholtz sponsored the bill Coon drafted in the Illinois state legislature. It was passed in May 2009. Feigenholtz has been central to Illinois adoption legislation, which she said is “very progressive.” “I believe that overall there is a great interest in progressive policies and common-sense laws,” Feigenholtz said. Miller officially adopted her two eldest daughters, 24-year-old twins, and the two who are still minors.
The newly adopted family, along with grandchildren, discussed the new law Tuesday at a press conference covered by CNN affiliate WLS.“I know what we went through. But we’re blessed. It’s loving, it’s strong. It’s happy. We’re happy. We’re all happy. We always wanted to be with my mom,” said eldest daughter Rachelle Pouncey. Since becoming sober, Miller has had one child whom she never lost. Her other children, now grown up, live in various cities in Illinois and Wisconsin. She plans to adopt the five additional adult children as soon as they can all be in the same place at the same time for a family reunion of sorts in court. “I’ve always believed that I was going to get my children back once I got my life back together,” she said at the press conference. Miller said several other mothers have talked to her in the past few days. She said she talks to women struggling with addiction constantly, “in church (and) on the street.” She said she wants to help other mothers who need to pick themselves up. “I know what’s down the end of that tunnel,” she said. “There’s no light.” Miller said her mother and her children were the inspiration she needed to recover. “Even in my addiction, I knew my kids loved me,” she said. “I chose to live because I had my children to live for.”

Two categories of competitive grants are available to states to support the effective implementation of home visiting programs in addition to the regular FY 2011 Home Visitation formula-based grants. The first category is “expansion grants” that will recognize states and jurisdictions that have already made significant progress toward a high-quality home visiting program or that have successfully embedded their home visiting program into a comprehensive, high-quality early childhood system. Approximately seven to 10 four-year expansion grants will be awarded. The second category are “development grants” available to states and jurisdictions that currently have modest home visiting programs and want to build on existing efforts. There will be 10 to 12 two-year developmental grants awarded.
States applying for either grant will be able to use the funds to enhance one or more priority elements of a home visiting program or to initiate a statewide expansion of one home visiting priority element currently operating at a local or regional level. Funding beyond the first year for either grant will be dependent on appropriated funds in subsequent years.
The application and instructions for submission can be found on Grants.gov.
Lowe’s has classes for kids a few times a month as part of the Lowe’s Build and Grow Clinic, held every other Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m., lasting about an hour. Usually the projects at the Lowe’s Build and Grow Clinics are ones that both boys and girls will enjoy.
On Saturday mornings kids get to take a free building class and build things like wooden toys, birdhouses, picture frames, treasure boxes, and games. Not only are these classes for kids at Lowe’s completely free, but kids get a free project kit, apron, and goggles as well. Projects in the past have ranged from wooden toys, birdhouses, games, kaleidoscopes, treasure boxes and more.
To register for a FREE class at Lowe’s Build and Grow Clinics, visit the Lowe’s Build and Grow Clinics website and view the next two clinics that are coming up. More Free Books for Kids

The Expo is an annual event where thousands of school age children have an opportunity to participate in a wide range of sports activities, health tests, screenings, seminars and demonstrations - all free of charge.
http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers Fill out the application immediately - even if they don’t know if
they’d want to attend immediately - it’s the federal government and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW… There will be
a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It’s my understanding that the
FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted. This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a
site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program - after which you can transfer anywhere in
the country that has a tower. I hope you pass this information on to family & friends.
