Siblings Mark and Lexy spent four years in foster care, but that all changed when they came to stay with Tom and Debra Crittenden. Now, the Georgia family has been together for two years.“The stars were aligned for us to adopt Mark and Lexy. They were literally the only kids we ever fostered; the only kids we ever met in the process," Tom Crittenden said. "So, it kind of seemed like they’re our kids."However, an adoption story like this one is not very common. Most people want to adopt babies, and at the ages of 15 and 17, Mark and Lexy almost aged out of the foster care system.Kimberly Offutt is the National Foster Care Adoption Director with Bethany Christian Services. She says the doors to the foster care system close to children once they reach the age of 18 leaving them in a very vulnerable position.“More than 10 percent of the kids who age out of foster care haven’t even graduated from high school," Offutt said. "Within two to three years, those children could end up homeless, incarcerated, where another system is now raised in them. Seven out of 10 of the young women actually have children that end up back in the foster care system."According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the longer a child is in foster care, the less likely they are to leave it before turning 18. “Our teenagers recognize that the clock is literally ticking. Every birthday is not a celebration. It is another year that they recognize, ‘if I don’t find a forever family, what’s going to happen to me,’” Offutt said.Offutt says a majority of U.S. children in foster care are between the ages of eight and 14, and the number of children in foster care continues to rise. The only hope in changing that statistic comes from families willing to take a leap like the Crittendens.“It’s just such a shame because it’s such a hindrance for these kids who age out of the system and don’t have that support network. Not just to get them through high school and college or whatever, but for the rest of their life,” Tom Crittenden said.The Crittendens say they understand people’s hesitation to adopt a teenager, but they believe you can still have a large impact on their lives. “We’re not bad. People always stereotype us saying that we have trouble and that we’re bad and stuff and how we’re like disobedient, and that’s not the case," Lexy said. "It’s actually what our parents did. That’s why we’re in foster care. Most of us are in foster care for what our parents did. Not for what we did."Thankfully, Mark and Lexy were able to stay together in their adoptive family.“Without siblings, ya know, we couldn’t really have that much fun. Because your parents are older than you, so having a close sibling is good,” Mark said.They’ve been given a new start with a new family. Debra says she loves introducing the kids to new experiences they’ve never had before.“We’ve taken them on trips. We were with them the first time they ever got on an airplane. We took them over to see the Grand Canyon and Sedona and ended up in Vegas," Debra Crittenden said. "And then, we took them out of the country to see the Caribbean about a month ago. So that’s fun, watching them experience new things that they wouldn’t have had access to."Mark and Lexy say they’d like to see other foster kids have the same opportunity.“To find someone that actually cares for them. To let them know that they are loved,” Mark said.There are 125,000 foster kids still waiting to be adopted.“If not you, who? If not now, when?” Offutt said. 3532

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer put forth a number of amendments to rules set forth by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, setting the table for President Donald Trump's removal trial over the next few weeks. All 11 amendments put forth so far on Tuesday have been tabled -- effectively turning them down -- by a party-line vote in all but one vote. Fifty-three Republicans voted to table the amendments, while 47 Democrats voted against tabling in 10 of the 11 votes. The only exception was on Amendment No. 1293 when Republican Susan Collins voted against tabling the motion.McConnell said at the onset of Tuesday's session that the GOP would block votes on all amendments to the rules put forth by him. "If a senator moves to amend the resolution in order to subpoena specific witnesses or documents, I will move to table such motions because the senate will decide those questions later in the trial," McConnell said. But Schumer continued on with a series of amendments. "These amendments are not dilatory," Schumer said. "They only seek one thing, the truth. That means relevant documents, relevant witnesses. That's the only way to get a fair trial and everyone in this body knows it. All 15 that were brought to completion feature witnesses, every single one. The witnesses we request are not Democrats. They're the president's own men."Here is what the Senate has voted on so far today:Amendment No. 1284This amendment would have compelled documents via subpoena from the White House to be used in the Senate trial. Amendment No. 1285This amendment would have compelled documents via subpoena from State Department to be used in the Senate trial. Amendment No. 1286This amendment would have compelled documents via subpoena from the Office of Budget and Management to be used in the Senate trial.Amendment No. 1287This amendment would have issued a subpoena for the testimony for White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.Amendment No. 1288This amendment would have compelled documents via subpoena from the Department of Defense to be used in the Senate trial.Amendment No. 1289This amendment would have issued a subpoena for the testimony for White House aide Rob Blair and Office of Budget and Management official Michael DuffeyAmendment No. 1290This amendment would have prevented the selective admission of evidence and to provide for appropriate handling of classified and confidential materialsAmendment No. 1291This amendment would have issued a subpoena for the testimony for former National Security Adviser John Bolton.Amendment No. 1292This amendment would have required motions to subpoena witnesses or documents shall be in order after the question period.Amendment No. 1293This amendment would have given additional time for House managers and Trump's legal team to file their responses to motions.Amendment No. 1294This amendment would have required Chief Justice Roberts to rule on motions to subpoena witnesses and documents.The documents requested by Democrats would have included emails, text messages, notes and other communications between White House and other government officials.After nearly 13 hours, the Senate finally voted to approve rules put forth by McConnell to lay out rules and a schedule for the trial. One point of contention was on the schedule for arguments. Originally, McConnell proposed 48 hours of opening arguments, 24 hours by the two respective legal teams, split over four days. After some criticism from Democrats, McConnell altered his proposal to splitting the arguments over six days, giving each team three days each.Another was on how evidence would be accepted by the Senate. 3652

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden made one of his first public appearances during the spread of the coronavirus on Sunday, visiting the site Saturday’s tense Black Lives Matter protest in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden visited businesses that were boarded up in Wilmington, and met a few locals during his visit. “We are a nation in pain right now, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us,” Biden’s campaign account tweeted. “As President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen, just as I did today visiting the site of last night's protests in Wilmington.” 627

Summertime is almost over, and that means back to the grind. For parents, it can be stressful to get kids back on a good sleep routine.Lauren Preusz is a mother of three young children and knows vacations, cookouts and late bedtimes must come to an end. But how?"Bedtime definitely got pushed back a lot later than normal, and then they were sleeping in later," Preusz said. "But with school coming up they can't be staying up to 9 p.m. or 9:30 p.m., then waking up and getting to school by 8 a.m."She says she's worried about what later bedtimes could do to her children once school begins."I didn't want to worry about behavioral issues at school, or them being too tired to actually be present, participate, and learn," Preusz said.Sleep experts and doctors alike recommending rolling bedtime back about 15- to 20-minute a day until school starts to make sure kids are ready for a new sleep pattern."This is now the time you should be moving the bedtime up and that bedtime routine close to bedtime, so they associate the routine with the actual going to bed," said Dr. Celina Moore, a pediatrician.Preusz hired the Cradle Coach, a team of sleep consultants, to help get her family back in the routine of early bedtimes. The Cradle Coach team says kids need between 10 and 12 hours of sleep per night."Routine is huge," Cradle Coach sleep consultant Janelle Aubert said. "Start bedtime routine about 45 minutes before bed and making sure your child has plenty of time to unwind."In addition, Aubert recommends looking at children's diets and cutting back on sugar. She also says first-time students can experience some sleep regression from the stress of a new routine."Take time to prepare," said Aubert. "Talk about it. Show them pictures and visuals and be sure to increase quality and one-on-one time with them.""Start talking about exactly what's going to happen. Mommy is going to take you in the morning. Daddy is going to pick you up," Aubert said.This story was originally published by Tory Dunnan on 2025
