| 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 November Dr. Mama question:
Dear Dr. Mama,
I've been following the whooping cough epidemic in California for some months now, and after the most recent death I'm even more worried.
We are caring for our beautiful little Angel guy who is 3 months old with a history of drug exposure (marijuana and amphetamines). There have been a few hiccups since he came to us, but overall he's a pretty healthy guy. He's had his first set of immunizations, but I know that's not enough to protect him completely.
What else can I do?

Foster Parent Spotlight- Michael and Karen
|
|
My husband and I came to fostering because our children have all become adults. Being a stay-at-home mom for the past 24 years, I have a lot more love and care to give a child, especially a child that needs love, comfort and safe environment.
Although we are not considering adoption, we became very attached to our first placement. She came to us at 2 ½ years old. My husband and I were "Mom"and "Dad" within the first 10 minutes of meeting her. Click here to read more.

With a grant from US Bank, Angels will host our holiday party with festive food and beverages for all the families and children. As with former years, a special appearance will be made by Santa Claus, who brings toys and goodies for all the children that are graciously donated by St Gabriel Catholic Church! Thank you US Bank for sponsoring this holiday party! It promises to be a very special day of holiday joy and fun shared amongst all the Angels families, staff and board members.

Did you Know?

|
Did you know we had 19 of our Angels participate in this year's fashion show? This group of kids has an amazing future in store for them! We have future comedians, mommies, athletes, and musicians (according to themselves and their parents). Our Angels are a group unlike any other, more of our parents commented on the unlimited love their Angels have for other kids and their siblings than anything else that stood out about their personalities. These children who all had rough starts are already turning into the kind of people who will be the adults that lead the future.

| Thank You Corner |
Angels is very grateful for the donations we receive every month. Without the generosity of our friends we wouldn't be able to save innocent babies in need. We would like to thank our October donors! Click here to see all our generous donors from October! |
