Stepping Stone
List Members,
I was wondering about the expression "stepping stone". For example:
This new job will just be a stepping stone for something better.
Any ideas ?

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...
