Babies Rescued
6 Babies

 

 

 
 
Since Angels was founded in 1999, we have rescued 333 babies from abuse and neglect. 
 
We have rescued 47 babies so far this year! 

Dear Angels Friend,
 
I would like to thank everyone who participated in our wonderful 10th Anniversary celebration on October 15th.  Never before have we had so many guests come together to celebrate the work of Angels.  We were able to honor each and every one of our little Angels models in the fashion show, and recognize how very special and unique each child is.  I was so very touched and honored to receive the first "Angels Award" and will treasure this award for a lifetime!  As we move into a new decade of rescuing babies, we remain grateful to every foster parent and donor for helping us to continue our good work.  Look out 2010 as we have only just begun!

Ask Dr. Mama

  

Dr. Rachel ZahnDr. Mama is better known as Rachel Zahn, MD, a pediatrician and local mom of three kids, ages 20, 18, and 14. All three were born during her medical training, earning her the title. Rachel is also a very active Angels Board member.
 
Dr. Mama also has her own website - www.MamasOnCall.com. Check it out!
 
 
 

Please read Dr. Mama's question: 
 
Dear Dr. Mama,

I have a 9 1/2 month old girl who is having a hard time sleeping BY HERSELF. We are guilty of picking her up in the middle of the night and taking her to our bed when she cries out. But now that has turned into an almost every night routine. We're rocking her to sleep or she will fall asleep on her last bottle. Last night, we put her down about 7:00 and she was up crying 30 minutes later. The end result was Chloe sleeping in the bed with us. What should we do? Cry it out method? We have tried patting her on her back but that just seems to make her more upset. Now that she can stand up it's even worst. Help!!

Foster Parent Spotlight - Ian and Carrie
 Carrie and Ian
Carrie and Ian were a young couple who, like many, came across the Angels website in their exploration of fostering and adoption resources. They were searching their hearts and trying to find the best avenue to satisfy their strong desire to be parents. A random encounter with a neighbor, who happened to be an Angels foster parent, led them to jump head, and heart, first into the Angels foster parent program. Read more...
2009 Luncheon a Success
 
Jeff DetrowThe 2009 luncheon was such a success with our largest turn out ever at almost 400 guests! Thank you to all the volunteers, Angels Board Members and staff for all your hard work.
 
Thank you to the foster parents and children that participated in the fashion show. I think I speak for everyone when I say how much we enjoyed watching every single one of your smiling faces on the stage!
 
Thank you to Jeff (Jeff and Jer radio personality) for being our fabulous emcee again this year. We are happy you and your wife are part of the Angels family!
