Happiness-the issue of People Magazine (February 12, 2007) finally came out with the picture and story of my online friend Jess and how she adopted her daughter Ryann. Page 103 features a picture of her little cutie and Debbe Magnuson, the head of Project Cuddle. I have been waiting for this for a month! I am so excited. It was my posting about Project Cuddle in an adoption forum that prompted Jess to resubmit their application-they had submitted one well over a year ago and heard nothing. That was in November and they had one near adoption in December from Project Cuddle and another call on 12/31/06 which turned out to be the real deal and Ryann is the happy result of this unusual chain of events. The Beins are enjoying Ryann and their son Brady who is also adopted!
Sadness-two cases of newborn babies that were killed in NYC alone. A few days ago a dead newborn was found in a trash compactor. Yesterday a 14 year old girl from Brooklyn gave birth in her room and then threw the newborn out the window! She hid the pregnancy from her family. These are cases where rescue groups could have helped these young women. They could have called Project Cuddle even after giving birth and would have been helped. Here is the sad story of the case in Brooklyn. There are hundreds if not thousands of families in the tri-state area who could have adopted this baby on short notice.
