American foster children need your help. Please, help one of God’s sweet angels who have been born into a life of neglect and pain. If not us, who? If not now, when?
I wanted to let everyone know that _www.angelsinwaitingUSA.org_
(
http://www.angelsinwaitingUSA.org) is up and going! It's a web-site
involved in promoting RN's and LVN's to leave hospital nursing and take in
Medically Fragile Preemies and Children from the revolving Foster System into their homes (as
either Foster Parents or Adoptive Parents). California's Medi-Cal system will
pay an RN or LVN to care for a Medically Fragile child when the RN/LVN become
Independent Nurses for Medi-Cal. Other states will, hopefully, be spurred to
follow suit.
Please check it out, and pass it on....:I didn't even know about
this until after I took Alexia home from the hospital (I was her nurse in Peds
ICU; working 12 hour shifts). Now, I'm her stay-at-home nurse....and I
want every nurse to be aware of the options. This may even encourage those
parents who think, "I should become a nurse - I know what all is involved in
taking care of my child!"
“How many angels must we pass back to heaven, when on this earth we can help transform their precious lives today?”
