Treasured Pearls: Master Chef's

Master Chef's

Last Saturday, HJ had asked for pancakes for breakfast. I have been so tired lately, that I wanted to sleep in as much as possible. I told her that I would make pancakes for dinner instead. By the time Saturday evening rolled around, I was still pretty tired, so I decided to recruit some junior chefs.

I had taught JA about making pancakes before but GW had never made pancakes. Because there are 9 of us, we doubled the recipe on the box and also added chocolate chips.

I don't think GW has cooked much with measuring cups before. He needed some help with that part. He is actually a pretty good cook for Chinese noodles and scrambled eggs, though.

The critics loved the results.

Orphan Statistics

Inter-country adoption has decreased 59 percent from its high in 2004, due primarily to restrictions by sending countries.
81.5 million Americans have considered adoption. If just 1 in 500 of these adults adopted, every waiting child would have a permanent family.
Every year more than 23,000 children age out of foster care, leaving them without families of their own.
The average waiting child is 7.5 years old.
Last year, nearly 9,000 children were adopted internationally
Of the estimated 238,280 children who exited foster care during 2013, the median amount of time spent in care was 21.8 months.
In 2013, California and Texas were the two U.S. states with the most children in public foster care waiting for adoption.
As of 2013, an estimated 17.7 million children worldwide had lost one or both parents to AIDS. Most of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa.
The births of nearly 230 million children under age 5 worldwide (about one in three) have never been recorded, depriving them of their right to a name and nationality
