2. If you like Hopeful Parents, let everyone know by "liking" us on Facebook! Click on the "Like" button on our sidebar, or visit our Facebook profile. We're trying to get to 5,000 likes by the end of the month...

3. If you luuuuvvvvv Hopeful Parents, become a member! All month long, we're giving you one good reason every day to join. Reason No. 17:

You want to reach out.

So often we are so entrenched in helping our children that we forget to take care of ourselves. When there is a free moment to let go and take a breath, it can be hard to know where to turn. Members of Hopeful Parents can reach out to each other to lend support or to be supported – in a community of understanding and acceptance.

That's all for today...see you tomorrow! And don't forget to add your link. Let's create some awareness about what it's like to care for a child with special needs!
