12/9/09 Moms in the News

Michelle Duggar is in the hospital. Pray for her safety and the safety of her unborn child - baby number 19!

Need a heart warming story? Meet Serrena Huddleston. When Serrena's neighbor (a mother of nine) started doing drugs, Serrena didn't stepped in and started caring for the nine children. After several years of trying to help her friend, Serrena ended up adopting all of the children under 18 years old - six of the kids! And did I mention that Serrena already had 4 of her own children. Serena is called an Adoption Hero.

Meet Lisa Sacks. A few years ago she joined the registry for a bone marrow center. Basically, they take a swab of cheek tissue and keep your DNA on their books to match with people who are dying of illnesses. Lisa got a call a few months ago that she was a match for someone. This Thanksgiving, underwent a difficult procedure to donate her bone marrow to save a stranger's life. I know I would do this for a family member in a heartbeat, but Lisa did it for a stranger. I think that's really cool.
