| Ask Dr. Mama |
 Dr. Mama is better known as Rachel Zahn, MD, a pediatrician and local mom of three kids, ages 23, 21, and 16. All three were born during her medical training, earning her the title. Rachel is also a very active Angels Board member. Here is the October Dr. Mama question:
Dear Dr. Mama,
We have adopted 4 Angel's babies from the same bio mom (!) and are currently fostering 2 more, ages 1 and 2.
The 2-year old is an adorable little guy who came to us at around 18 months with some mild developmental delays, which have improved. Then, this week, we found him in his crib where he had taken off his dirty diaper and was smearing everything in sight with poop! We put him right in the bath and proceeded with the awful clean-up job, but I don't know, should we have reprimanded him? I'm so worried that this has something to do with his rough start in life, and may lead to other problems. None of our other kids have ever done anything like this.
Why is he doing it, and how can we make him stop?

Foster Parent Spotlight- Mark and Misty
|
Here is an excerpt from a letter from one of our foster parents:
"We know Angels is here to change the life of a child but it has changed ours as well. My husband, Mark, and I are currently fostering our second child. Our first was a little boy that came to us when he was five months old. His birth-mom was young and got caught up with the wrong crowd and drugs were involved. Our little buddy was in our life for a year and a half and reunified with his birth-mom right before his second birthday. Click here to read more.
