They have tags on all the trees with identifiers such as 3 year old girl, teenage girl, older man, etc. You pull off a tag or two and then buy a gift suitable for the person nominated.<BR/><BR/>I do this every year because I hate the thought of anyone not being thought of. For that same reason, we always have extras on Christmas day, people who would otherwise be on their own.<BR/><BR/>Great post, Ann.

When my kids were adopted, I had to take clothes with me to pick them up and the babies were changed into what I had brought to the home.<BR/>I do think that children that are fostered should have quite a lot more<BR/>clothes and belongings with them.<BR/>Hope all is well at your house Ann.<BR/>Take care, Love, Merle.Merlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763778255535640633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1164159152278849012006-11-21T17:32:00.000-08:002006-11-21T17:32:00.000-08:00just poppin over to say happy turkey day and hey i...just poppin over to say happy turkey day and hey i know that dapoppins lady! she's a sweety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1164129091175341162006-11-21T09:11:00.000-08:002006-11-21T09:11:00.000-08:00I'm not sure what Idaho foster care pays out.My cl...I'm not sure what Idaho foster care pays out.<BR/>My client gets almost $600 a month for disability and about $75 for state check for disability and they think this is just peachy creamy.peppylady (Dora)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01649272822470007714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1164127423830244612006-11-21T08:43:00.000-08:002006-11-21T08:43:00.000-08:00Is there a link to "the little Wishes" program?Is there a link to "the little Wishes" program?Dapoppinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170185334349270932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17058563.post-1164127337249268302006-11-21T08:42:00.000-08:002006-11-21T08:42:00.000-08:00Hey, I was wondering...aren't their local outreach...Hey, I was wondering...aren't their local outreach programs with the churches, food banks, Salvation army or such? In my state it seems every store has a giving tree, and I try to find one that benefits foster kids or famlies in Shelters and pick a couple of tags to buy something. I usually over do it because I can't stand the idea of anyone going without. (I am on the West Coast, Washington State)<BR/>I always wanted to be a foster parent, but then had four of our own instead...I am gonna go click that link now..<BR/><BR/>Here by way of the Gobhole...Happy Thanksgiving!Dapoppinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170185334349270932noreply@blogger.com
