Anyone who knows me at all knows I have a
passion to adopt older children from foster care and to support youth who age out of foster care with no permanent family to call their own. Their adult lives are usually bleak and difficult with little to no support system. One
youth who aged out in Colorado advertised for a family to celebrate her birthday with on craigslist.
The above family is near and dear to my heart. The mom is the sister of 3 of my adopted boys with her significant other and their two boys. She just had a baby girl today, as well. Baby Girl was born 6 weeks early. The parents aged out of foster care. They grew up without a permanent family to call their own. Momma has never had a baby shower. The family has many needs; however, it is my desire to show them some love at this time. I'd like to ask my friends and followers if you'd help me show them some love by sending them a card, flowers, or whatever your heart desires.
You can send cards, flowers, etc. to:
Baby Girl Martinez
The BirthPlace
Southwest General Hospital
7400 Barlite Blvd
San Antonio, TX 78224
You also can help by using my "donate" button or purchasing items from the
baby registry at Target, or search it using my name and email address: Alison Graf alisongraf@aol.com
Prayers are always welcome, of course.
Thank you so much.
