Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: I have a friend whose 12-year-old adopted son (adopted at age 6) has been sexually abusing his younger siblings. She self-reported to CPS and law enforcement, but they have not done a formal removal yet, and their solutions involved bringing the child back home or kinship (not an option). The offending child is currently in a temporary behavioral hospital, and a Refusal to Assume Parental Responsibility was opened on my friend because she will not pick him up, especially not until he receives specialized treatment for sexual aggression. The other children deserve a safe home to heal. Has anyone been through this before? If, after treatment, she still does not feel like it's in the children's best interest for him to return home, what are her options?

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes a panel of passionate Extension Master Gardeners—Carole Belkin, Barbara Bosserman, and Joanne Royaltey—to share the excitement surrounding two beloved community events: the Indoor Plant Clinic at Bowman Library and the annual Seed Exchange at the Clarke County Fairgrounds. As winter settles in, these events offer residents a chance to connect, learn, and grow—both literally and figuratively. Hands-On Learning at the Indoor Plant Clinic Kicking off the conversation, Carole describes the much-anticipated Indoor Plant Clinic, scheduled for January 31st at Bowman Library. This one-day event transforms the library's front room into a vibrant hub of horticultural activity. Attendees can browse tables brimming with houseplant cuttings, receive expert advice from Extension Master Gardeners, and even pot their new plants with guidance on selecting the right soil and containers. The clinic isn't just for adults; children are invited to participate in hands-on activities designed to spark their curiosity about plants and gardening. Carole emphasizes the event's welcoming atmosphere, noting that many visitors return year after year, eager to share stories and photos of thriving plants they received at previous clinics. Sowing the Seeds of Community at the Seed Exchange Next, Barbara introduces the annual Seed Exchange, set for February 7th at the newly renovated Clarke County Fairgrounds. This free event invites the public to bring seeds to share—or simply to pick up new varieties for their gardens. With tables dedicated to vegetables, herbs, perennials, and even native plant seeds, the exchange fosters a spirit of generosity and learning. Master Gardeners are on hand to answer questions about planting, soil, and seasonal care, while local organizations like the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley and Clarke County 4-H add to the festive, educational atmosphere. Children are encouraged to participate through a fun stamp-collecting activity, ensuring that the next generation of gardeners feels right at home. Expert Advice and Lasting Connections Throughout the conversation, the guests highlight the invaluable role Extension Master Gardeners play in the community. Joanne, also an Associate Extension Agent, explains how these volunteers provide research-based information, answer questions year-round, and help residents navigate the challenges of gardening in the Valley's unique climate. The conversation also touches on the importance of avoiding invasive plant species, the joy of sharing gardening successes, and the sense of camaraderie that blossoms at events like the plant clinic and seed exchange. Looking Ahead: Growing Together As the discussion draws to a close, the panelists reflect on the power of gardening to bring people together. Whether it's repotting a 20-year-old snake plant, teaching children how to propagate cuttings, or simply exchanging seeds and stories, these events nurture both plants and relationships. The Extension Master Gardeners invite everyone—novices and seasoned green thumbs alike—to join them in cultivating a more connected, resilient, and verdant community.

Kim is the founder of KBW Coaching, where she blends life coaching and positive psychology to help girls navigate today’s complex world, build confidence, and move forward with purpose.
