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.
This is beautiful, you are an amazing person! I aspire to be like you. I don't know if I will ever find another S/O with the same dreams but you inspire me to just do them anyway. I feel the same way you do about older children in the "system". I would love to give them a forever home and show them that someone cares. I found your blog searching single parents rving, but fostering and adopting as many children as I can is also a dream of mine. I hope to continue following your journey. Thank you for being you. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. *blush* I don't have a S/O other than Jesus Himself and I feel He called me to do what I do. I'm truly blessed to be able to live this life and share it with my newly-made family. We're launching again in the morning, actually, so feel free to follow along. God bless you in your own journey through life.
