Volunteering in the inner city or the family shelter is on the list of possibilities. I'll be subbing at my kids' school, too. I don't know if we're even allowed to be foster parents anymore. Indiana passed a law that any family that has 5 or more kids can't go through public adoption. I don't know if it applies to fostering or not. Either way, while I would love to do it, Bryan isn't quite so keen on the idea.
