29、to enter kindergarten. The 42-year-old stay-at-home mom was used to a lively ，laughter-filled home. I started to evaluate my life ,，she recalls. “What is my path now?”When the answer didnt present itself, the Eugene, Oregon resident set a goal： to write about her marriage to Bill, a radio announcer,
30、 and about their three biological and nine adopted children. Within six months, she had 200 pages ，much of it about adopting older children of different races and with special needs. In the process, she began to wonder why, if there are children in foster care (寄养）who are suitable for adoption and t
31、here are adults who are ready to adopt ，the system is so disappointing. (Obie-Barrett adopted her children through relatives and a private program.) “Over 75 percent of families dont adopt because theyre so frustrated with the system. she says.Obie-Barrett set a second goal： to offer an alternative.
32、 She bought the book Nonprofit Kit for Dummies and followed it chapter by chapter. Within months ，A Family for Every Child(AFFEC) was born. The non-profit organization matches families who want to adopt with adoptable children in Oregon and Washington, many of whom have bumped around from family to
33、family for years ,some as many as 20 times. “From the start,” says Obie-Barrett. “our goal was clear： to get children out of foster care quickly. ”She partnered with Heart Gallery of America, an organization that holds photographic exhibits of waiting children, and hosted an event at the local mall
34、to help find families for them. Since then, all 44 children in that first exhibition一plus 200 morehave been adopted, and the number of families wanting to adopt has quadrupled(变成四倍）. Fourteen employees (mostly volunteers) operate out of donated office space. (In the winter months ，the staff go witho
35、ut heat. Obie-Barrett prefers to spend the money helping more children.)We need to start giving the children more chances/says Obie-Barrett. I didnt graduate from college.

39、yms and other plastic-coated structures in their quest to create fun, safe, healthy environments. As a result, kids are running outside and discovering play areas dotted with old standbys： sand ,water, boulders, hills and logs.This is an emerging national trend of some significance. Parents and othe
40、r adults want natural opportunities for kids.Supporters of natural play spaces say they make sense on multiple levels.

41、pleased to forgo five-and six-figure expenditures (幵支）for manufactured play equipment.Some believers say built playgrounds are not going to become obsolete. In Seattle ，children have been offered natural play spaces at city parks since the late 1990s. Though kids at first enjoyed playing with sand a
42、nd a cave ，they tended to get restless ,says Randy Robinson, a senior landscape architect. “Once theyd dug in the sand a little bit, theyd be running up and down the hill* but there just wasnt enough for them,” Robinson says. “Parents made a request to get some conventional play equipment installed
43、(安置）nearby.Makers of playground equipment say they arent opposed to natural play spaces. since kids benefit from nature. But playing only with natural elements isnt adequate for a childs healthy development.Natural play spaces may appear simple, but getting one launched can mean overcoming multiple
44、difficulties. Governments often struggle to get insurance because insurers aren t sure how to assess the risks involved.Whats involved in caring for them remains a matter of some debate. Maintenance costs can be minimal precisely because nature is the whole idea，” says Ron King, a designer and build
45、er. What about maintenance? Its a natural area. Let it go.But Linda Cain Ruth, a building science professor and playground expert at Auburn University. says natural playgrounds need careful maintenance to remain safe. A lot of people think that because its natural theres no maintenance, and that is
46、not true，” Ruth said. .Wood rots. ., You have to make sure you have a good surface for (kids) to fall on. ”61.According to the passage. the playground of the future might be like _.A.parks with slides and plastic-coated structuresB.natural play areas with some traditional equipmentC.modern gyms inst
