Madre de Acogida
People,
I came across this expression madre de acojida. Is this the same as foster mother?
Is there such a term as madre adoptiva? What would be the difference ?

A Saving Grace
People,
How would one say "saving grace" in Spanish?
For example:
This went bad, and the other went bad, and so on; but the saving grace was that something good happened!
I thank you all...

Rusty,
Thanks for the help.
It seems that they don't say it that way in Español, though. I think that I would just have to explain it out, as you said.

Cabriarse?
People,

Cash In my Chips
Rusty, Poli,
I was thinking more along metaphorical lines.
I think Poli got it, but I didn't know they say "chips" in Spanish.
Isn't there some way of expressing the idea in an organic way?...

Fallo ...
En Puerto Rico solía oir "!que fallo" para decir jolin!, o caramba!
Pero no me acuerdo si era "que fallo", o "que falla".

I am wondering if something like "as...
