			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over four years a<img class="alignright" src="http://nataliejost.net/findingmymother.com/img/cover.jpg" alt="" width="400" />go, my multi-talented web designer friend <a href="http://nataliejost.com/" target="_blank">Natalie Jost, </a>wrote a blog post about her search to find her birth mother. She generously offered one of her books as a giveaway on my blog so that others could read of her challenges and gain hope.</p>
<p>Natalie is one of the most soul-baring, deeply honest, and truly humble women I know. She&#8217;s not afraid to rock the boat of complacency if it will move it closer to the shore where Jesus waits. Her book,  <em>Finding My Mother, </em>offers hope and courage to other adopted children who are beginning or in the midst of their searches.</p>
<p>Half of all proceeds from the sale of her book and its companion journals will go to support <a href="http://www.casaforchildren.org/">CASA</a>, an organization that uses volunteers to act as advocates for children caught between their birth parents and &#8220;the system&#8221; trying to help them, and similar organizations.</p>
<p>Please leave a comment to have a chance to be sent this book. Click <a href="http://nataliejost.net/findingmymother.com/" target="_blank">HERE </a>for information about PDF downloads and journals. And while you&#8217;re in her web neighborhood, check out her textiles and paper goods at her <a href="http://olivemanna.com/" target="_blank">Olive Manna</a> store online.</p>
