Used
dolls were collected from Minnesota Day Care Centers and we gave the
centers new dolls for the children in their
care. Volunteers from foster, kinship and adoptive care worked to
process the dolls to help build awareness of children in out-of-home
care.
Volunteers made over 200 Valentines and drew pictures of
families. We wanted our voted officials to know in their hearts that
adopted, kinship and foster children are real children with real lives,
real histories and real families. Then
we delivered to each of our Minnesota Senators and
Representatives with information about what it is like to be in foster
care. The Mighty 20 volunteers recruited more volunteers to
help distribute the dolls. Foster, kinship and adopted children joined
forces with caregivers and professionals to build public
awareness.
Baby Gurl and
Lil' Mama (shown assembling the
Foster Care Survival Kits) wrote "Searchin'"
the song MoAngels will be performing March 7 at the Capitol at 2:00
and Right Sound Studio
in Minneapolis donated our music. A
special thank you to Right Sound from Mo'Angels -- you are wonderful!
