She has big brown eyes and hair as dark as night.
Her first tooth has peeked through, and she’s grasping-
at a life she deserves and a future free of the
mental illness and drug abuse that plagues her parents.

This could be Angels Baby 500, and any minute now we expect a call like this to find a child an exceptional loving family. We are so proud of all the families who have rescued all 499 babies who have come before her. These little ones have gotten the very best chance for a healthy future and we know that Baby 500 will too. As we await this milestone, please join us in honoring all our Angels parents, siblings and babies served in the past 12 years.

There has been a dramatic increase in calls looking for homes for very young sibling groups. Just last week Angels was forced to turn away a one year old and his newborn brother because we had no family available to care for them. Many of the 100 children turned away by Angels in 2011 were siblings. It is critical to keep these little ones together whenever possible to avoid shattering their entire world. We know it takes a special family to open their hearts to two at a time-

Could this be you?

It truly was the most wonderful time of the year! Last month many groups, people and businesses came together to donate goods to Angels to help us restock our New Placement Supply Closet. We received diapers, formula, wipes, clothing and lots of fun toys for our little ones. A big thank you to Perkins Coie, Promises2Kids, San Diego Gamma Knife Center, Aspirations School of Learning, P.E.O.

Special Holiday Thanks!

St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Poway once again went above and beyond to provide incredible gifts for all of our kids at our annual holiday party. Special thanks to Helena for organizing everything so wonderfully. Our kids faces as they opened their gifts were priceless. Also, thank you to Amy Smpson, Angels Board Member, for coordinating the use of the beautiful Lomas Santa Fe Country Club for the party. Thank You to all who contributed to make it such a spectacular day!

Thanks to Girls Scout Troop 1218! The girls of Troop 1218 went on a shopping spree for our babies. They each filled a bag with all it takes to get one of our babies through the first few days with their foster family. What a great way to spread holiday cheer!
