Dear Friends: 
As I think back over the past 10 years, I am reminded of the one room little office where we first got started in 1999. I had a borrowed desk, computer, clock, and a phone that never rang. As I worked daily on writing the Program Description, I dreamt of the day when we would have our first Angels baby placed with our first Angels family. That dream became a reality on Thanksgiving eve of 1999, when we placed 4 month old baby Jeremy. Jeremy and the Cooper family would come to personify everything that our small Angels board and I could imagine as the "perfect" Angels family! The Angels seed was planted 10 years ago, but it has grown into one amazing agency, rescuing babies and serving families in need because of all the nurturing, love and commitment made by the Angels staff, board, foster families and donors. In these 10 years, we have witnessed the most unthinkable acts perpetrated against innocent children! And yet, more profoundly, we have witnessed individuals who have offered up their hearts and homes as safe havens for babies to heal and to learn to love again. The Angels family is indeed a unique family, all sharing in a calling to make this world a little better, one baby at a time. Thank you Angels Family.
