The children who cling to The Spirit of Christmas Present

All Proceeds Go Towards Angels In Waiting

By Tim Arnold

Angels In Waiting is now soaring through the winter holiday season and approaching the winter solstice, when the sun is reborn. It is a time to recall that this titanic "Heart Of Fire" is born again each year and continues to radiate the warmth and illumination that make life possible. It is the true savior of humanity, sacrificing its essence so that human race can perpetuate itself and thrive. This solar force gives each individual the great expectation of being reborn with the sun and rekindling his or her own heart of fire.

This is, of course, the Dickensian time of the year. Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" has become the archetypal fable for the holiday season; a great morality play that casts a dark light on the usurious character, Ebenezer Schrooge, and on the penurious plight of unwanted children. "This covetous, old sinner" only existed to extort usurious interest from the destitute upon whom he preyed. Marley, his partner, only came to realize after death that "mankind was my business." Vulturous money lenders like Schrooge were as numerous as old gin bottles in nineteenth century England, and they created usury addicts just like opium suppliers created laudanum addicts. As a youth, Dickens himself had been victimized by this loan shark horror. He was compelled to work seventy hour weeks in a boot black factory until he could buy his family out of debtors' prison. Characters such as Oliver Twist and David Copperfield were based upon these experiences. Additionally, the opium addicts spawned the premature, opium addicted infants. These are the children who cling to The Spirit of Christmas Present for protection because "humanity will not have them."

This nineteenth century dystopian horror is not dissimilar to our dehumanized twenty-first century in which toxic drug usage has proliferated and drug-addicted infants have increased like the interest on Schrooge's loans. In truth, the usurious banking system of our modern world is exponentially more horrific than Schrooge's quaint, little shop of extortion. Today's banks can lend out twenty times their assets, making credit addicts out of myriad more desperate people, who pay enormous quantities of interest on "money" that doesn't even exist. Usury originally meant charging any interest on money. Schrooge means literally "to squeeze," and these contemporary Schrooges have squeezed humanity to the point of desiccation. One percent of the interest collected by banks on phantom "money" could easily, fully fund all the humanitarian organizations in the world. Perhaps these modern money lenders might look to their souls before it is too late. Possibly their next incarnations might be as drug-addicted infants.

In the meantime, Angels In Waiting is looking toward a large, federal grant fund to carry on Its Spirit Of Christmas Present work. The grant is focused on reducing medical costs incurred by the government. Innovative programs are being sought after in order to diminish the horrendous impact of medical costs and the abominable health of a very significant percentage of the populace. In order to work toward creating solutions to this financial and physical dilemma, Angels In Waiting’s founder has created a cognate organization called Nurses For Safer Access, which is dedicated to using herbal decoctions to decrease the usage of potentially dangerous synthetic drugs. These drugs can have a gamut of adverse effects that potent herbal extracts can ameliorate. In this manner, the expense of treating a wide range of disorders can be significantly diminished, and individuals can gradually reduce the need for synthetic drugs.

The UCLA Medical Center is sponsoring Angels In Waiting in its efforts to restore methamphetamine and heroin addicted medically fragile infants and children to health and is working diligently with AIW to garner a significant share of this federal grant money. It is a very revealing comment on the culture of the United States that more funds will be paid to keep a person imprisoned than to restore the heath of a drug impacted infant.

We should take quite seriously the prophetic statement of The Spirit Of Christmas Present when he warns mankind to beware of the children clinging to his robes because they are "want and ignorance." A society where children grow up in extreme want and ignorance is a society that is precariously close to the black sun of oblivion.

AN ANGEL FLIES INTO ACTION

By Jennifer Erickson — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 16:10:55 GMT

Nurses For Safer Access

Like most mothers of a toddler, when Linda West plays with her adopted daughter, she models behavior, such as how to catch a ball, mixing instruction with congratulatory hugs and praise.

But there is nothing ordinary about their relationship. Three years ago, the four-month old preemie baby, a victim of her birth mother’s methamphetamine binges, became a ward of the state due to her mother's drug addiction. Shortly after, the local authorities became concerned for the infants safety after learning her mother has a history of allegedly trying to sell her newly born infants in parking lots and off of the internet.

Thanks to the nonprofit Angels In Waiting, this little girl and other “medically fragile” foster children receive a chance to overcome physical and developmental obstacles in an unusual, government-approved placement arrangement. At-risk babies go home to the comforting and knowledgeable arms of licensed vocational or registered nurses like West, who are registered foster care providers and paid for their care-giving through Medicaid.

Just as a methamphetamine epidemic among young women is creating an ever-increasing number of fragile newborns in need of care, donations to Angels dropped by half during the recession, clipping West’s efforts to recruit other nurse care-givers.

Now, West is trying a different tactic to help salvage her passion with another charity, Laguna Beach-based Nurses for Safer Access, 1968 S. Coast Highway. The storefront, which opens Sept. 7, will offer botanically-based health supplements to be distributed to customers under the supervision of a registered nurse where appropriate.

West sought natural remedies as substitutes for some of the myriad pharmaceuticals with their side effects prescribed for her own medically fragile children. The alternatives provided great results.

Now, West hopes to both raise funds for AIW and promote the use of herbal remedies with Nurses for Safer Access. Her 20-year-old nephew, local resident Blake Chapman, has joined her in launching the nonprofit to distribute herbs, nutritional supplements, vitamins, and teas costing from $6 to $100, which are largely unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration, including high potency supplements that are only sold to health care providers.

West and Chapman don’t wish aim to provide safer access to Eastern-style remedies where practicable. “I have no problem integrating Western and Eastern medicine as a nurse,” she said.

Currently, West’s Angels number 45 nurses, mostly in Southern California. They operate independently and have obtained credentials to provide in-home care to medically fragile foster children, an alternative to discharging tiny patients from ICUs to nursing institutions or group homes. So far they have cared for about 110 babies.

According to Terry Lynn Fisher, spokeswoman for Orange County’s Social Services Agency, even though the agency’s goal is to keep children with their birth parents whenever possible, they always have a need for more foster parents qualified and willing to care for medically fragile and disabled children.

Care by a single individual rather than a rotating staff fulfills a child’s need to bond, said consultant Jackie Peebles, also of Lake Arrowhead, an early intervention specialist, who established Special Discoveries Educational Services, Inc. in 2002. Infants deprived of nurturing may fail to thrive and face developmental challenges, she said.

For autistic children and drug-exposed babies, early and meaningful intervention will decrease negative behavior and increase developmental milestones, said Peebles, who works with AIW nurses. “We are able to mitigate a lot of the severe problems that these children have.”

Working in hospitals in San Bernardino County where meth addiction has soared, West and other nurses were frustrated that their work schedules didn’t allow time to hold and comfort the compromised infants. The mantra, “if only I could take you home…” was often wistfully uttered. Then West thought, why not? Why can’t we take them home?

Determined to find a solution, she unearthed a Medicaid program called “In Home Operations” created in 1967 so that infants would not be institutionalized. West figured out the process that allows licensed nurses to become credentialed as foster-care providers for medically fragile children and bill Medi-Cal for their nursing. She founded Angels In Waiting in 2005 to promote the concept.

Ninety percent of AIW-recruited nurses adopt, partly because they become so attached to their children and sometimes in part because they may have reservations about the quality of care they’ll receive in other homes, West said. Foster parents for medically fragile children receive a monthly stipend of $1,200 from California Children’s Services.

“Once they call you ‘mommy,’ it’s all over,” said West, who lives in Lake Arrowhead, with her daughter and her new brother Sammy, now 8, another meth micro preemie who West also adopted.

Nurses for Safer Access will initially be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week and can be contacted at 949 715-7757.

Happy Mothers Day, To All Of Our Dedicated Mothers

The glorious month of May brings many blessings, warmer weather, the fresh smell of rain from May’s spring showers, the abundance of fresh new life growing all around us, blustering with the intent of meeting its God-given full potential. In addition, the month for May also honors Foster Care Awareness, Nurse Appreciation, and of course, the most important tribute- Mother's Day!

The correlation of all the events in May did not strike me as peculiar, until it was brought to my attention by an interview… I was nervously getting ready to do a live online interview for Angels In Waiting with a large, widely listened to online syndicated radio show called “Online with Andrea.” Andrea’s, special guests for her Mother’s Day Special included Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, and several other very high-ranking congressional–linked nonprofit organizations. Organizations who are reaching out to help address the issues within our foster care system, and other nonprofits helping the staggering number of, 163 million orphan children throughout our world…

163 million faces needing to find love, dedication, and a Mother. I was literally emotionally shocked, with that mine boggling statistics. Sicken to think, universally across our globe millions of women no longer value “Motherhood,” let alone the innocent and the precious lives they gave birth to.

I was pondering while I was also rehearsing for my “unknown questions and unpolished answers segment” for the online interview: How and Why women collectively have lost their ability to properly “mother”? To effectively “mother” is any species most sacred possession for optimal survival… But then the musical intro for the online syndicated radio show; “Online with Andrea” started and these inspirational Mothers, gave me hope, and showed me motherhood is thriving, and the ability to deeply love, and lay down our life for our offspring or somebody else’s offspring …is alive and well! Happy Mothers Day! To All of The Nurturing, Loving and Dedicated Mothers!

The Angel Who Inspired Angels In Waiting

Sammy and His Sister Autumn

Sammy's Story

Sammy is a true medical miracle! Sammy is not my biological son. I know the deep piercing bond a son
from my womb can bring. I love my Sammy just as deeply.

Sammy was born a full four months early at the fragile weight of 17 ounces when his birthmother's placenta burst due to her addiction to methamphetamine s and landed her in the hospital. When he tested positive for
methamphetamines, Sammy was taken into the custody of Children's Services; his mother's rights suspended
until she tested negative for the drug. His premature delivery meant his organs were not developed enough
to sustain his life. His lungs were so underdeveloped; he couldn't take his first breath. His brain and nervous
system were so undeveloped they couldn't remind him he even needed one. He survived for the next 14 months in the hospital under the care of medical personnel utilizing mechanical ventilation and IV drips, while he fought his
mother's drug addiction. He rapidly produced hundreds of hemangiomas on the outside of his body and thousands more on the inside that impeded the natural function of all his organs. This subjected him to several years of chemotherapy.

To the amazement of hospital staff, he endured seven abdominal surgeries and survived four close-call
resuscitations. Sammy was continually pricked with
needles. He was so troubled he slept sitting up. Afraid to relax into dreamland, he posed for his next onslaught of cold painful medical procedures delivered by sterile hands and blue scrubs. (see Photo at web site http://www.angelainwaitingUSA.org)

Against extraordinary odds, Sammy continued to fight for his life, alone, without the emotional support of a
nurturing mother. The severity of his illness and grim prognosis prompted doctors to request a Do Not
Resuscitate Form be signed by the appointed court judge. Thankfully, the judge refused, and Sammy
continued to make use of the hospital's personnel heroic resuscitation efforts. Miraculously, and to the
continued amazement of the nurses, therapists and physicians charged with his care, he stabilized enough to be discharged from the hospital.

He was placed in a group home for medically fragile children where he was able to bond with other children who were fighting incredible fights of their own (see Alexia's Story from our web site). Six months later, after a long career in child care, the owner of the group home was to retire. She was frightened that if Sammy ended up in the local institution he was slated for, he would shrivel and die.

She called me on Thanksgiving Day when she'd heard I was a veteran NICU and pediatric nurse and now
certified as a medically fragile foster parent. Convinced Sammy wouldn't make it without a vital infusion of love and heartfelt dedication, she urged me to take him into my home. Several days later, he crossed the threshold of my doorway and into my heart, infusing me with the wonder of his survival.

In less than three years, Sammy has moved from indwelling catheters, feeding tubes and numerous daily
medications to being tube and medication free. He is a brilliant, cognitively gifted and active seven year old boy

who enjoys and celebrates,every aspect of his precious life Sammy has an exceptionally gentle soul.

In 2007, my husband and I adopted Sammy, securing his promising future and enriching our lives beyond
the expectations we mused over when we started this journey of safe-housing tender souls.

Sammy is doing Wonderful he will turn 8 years old on the 31, He is Happy and Healthy.There are so many other
little boys and girls just like Sammy. While we cannot adopt all of the little Sammy's in waiting, we have opened our home to heal as many and love as many as we can and help them move on to loving homes of their own; and so the birth of Angels in Waiting and our determination to affect as many lives as possible.

Thanks for reading.

An Angel In Waiting

Thank you for “Helping Save A Childhood”

The futures of our ANGELS IN WAITING program and the medically fragile foster care infants and children that we “Serve” is growing. We recently presented two large government grants to National Institute of Health, and recruited several more Nurses; moreover, we have over 10 Nurses waiting in the wings to be Foster parents for medically fragile foster care infants and children.

This means that many more medically fragile foster care children will have a childhood. These precious infants and children will benefit from having their own skilled Nurse as their foster parent. AIW Nurses make sure that their foster care infants and children’s best interests are well represented in the court, health care settings, and in the Department of Family and Children Services.

We are grateful to all our donors who have helped make this possible. Here are just a handful of the e-mails to Angels In Waiting from Nurses thought-out this Great Nation of ours…

Comments = Would your program have a need for me even though I live in Colorado? Or could we start a satellite of your program here? Thanks

My name is Eric, I am a RN and a father of 2 little girls in Indiana. Ever since the birth of my first daughter, and recently my second - I am now of course a over protective father. :) The realization that the world can be cruel, especially to our infants and children, is so disturbing to me. My heart hurts to see other little ones in pain. I am writing because I stumbled across your site. And I wanted to say thank you for your compassion and god bless you for helping the forgotten little ones. I just wanted to say thank you with all my heart and let you know someone is thinking of you and your company today…One day, I too will be caring for medically fragile foster care infants and children from my home (once my daughters are older) you inspired my nursing career into this noble calling.

How Many More Angels Must We Send Back To Heaven?

Linda West - Conforti R.N. — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:46:02 GMT

How many more Angels must we send back to heaven?

To Our Loyal and Dedicated Supporters,

In 2009, Within LA County Alone, More Than 268 Infants and Children Died in Foster Care, How Many More “Angels” Must We Send Back To Heaven?

Due to the shocking fact in the above statement, the founder of Angels In Waiting, Linda West- Conforti RN urgently sought the help from a well-known legal advocate for foster children within LA County. The activist was Linda Wallace- Pate, an Attorney at law who has represented foster children in LA County for over four decades. After she was privy to LA county's death toll for foster care infants and children. We quickly joined forces, and met with key people within the community to address these shocking statistics. Too many of these foster care infants, and children who were passed back into heaven, were special needs infants and children, these angels were placed into inappropriate foster homes, their foster parents were poorly trained and ill- equipped to address their special needs. They resided in neighborhoods that were greatly underserved by available county resources due to the new budget restraints. If Angels In Waiting’s Nurse program would have been utilized in LA County, the number of dead foster care infants and children would have been drastically reduced. Linda West -Conforti and Linda Wallace- Pate approached, UCLA, Charles Drew University and CDU School of Nursing with our lifesaving and innovative nursing outreach program. Both UCLA and Charles Drew University are now seeking federal grants, to implement our Angels In Waiting Nursing Recruitment Program into their community to address the dire needs of their forgotten population of foster care infants and children who reside in their own backyard. Please, continue to support our noble cause. Furthermore, please place our widget from Global Giving's website onto your social networking site to help support our cause. For our goal is to implement our lifesaving program throughout our nation. Please, Together We Can Save Countless Childhoods" by promoting Angels In Waiting's Widgets.

“How many angels must we pass back to heaven, when on this earth we can help transform their precious lives today?

Sincerely,

Linda West –Conforti RN

Preemie Foster Infants in need of adoptive homes

Linda West - Conforti — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:36:02 GMT

some of the nurses and our adoptive infants & children

Due to our economic adversity, premature births are on the rise. Many of our foster care infants are delivered early due to maternal drug exposure and failed abortion attempts by young mothers barely out of childhood themselves. This new population of tiny ones begins their lives in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of hospitals across America. Our goal is to bring awareness, education and forever loving homes to these little angels.

When the mother and/or infant test positive for illicit drugs, the infant is placed into child protective custody and enters into the Foster Care System.

As the tiny ones battle for their life with undeveloped organs, they are also going through brutal drug withdrawal. The constant poking with needles to draw blood and IV starts does not convey a warm and fuzzy beginning to life. Many preemies will have a four to six month course in NICU, never knowing whether they're being picked up to be fed or poked for some other painful procedure.

They benefit greatly from a nurturing home environment with knowledgeable Nurses once their hospital stay is over, but need tremendous amounts of love to overcome their memories of the distress necessary to save their lives.

Angels in Waiting is dedicated to moving these special little angels into loving homes with Registered Nurses as their foster parents and then on to adoptive homes in which they could grow and continue to flourish; their troubled pasts overshadowed by their potentially bright futures.

Angels in Waiting understands the proper course of treatment required by enhancing the cognitive, behavioral and psychological outcome of medically fragile and drug exposed foster preemies and infants. With the proper funding for Nurse Recruitments and educational programs, the attainment of that goal can be significantly accomplished.

Please help us if you can. I believe in a new spirit of helping America’s infants and children, "the most unfortunate among us" is re-awakening in America. Our noble foundation could use your help. Angels In Waiting has a growing network of dedicated nurses (35+) throughout California. Because of your gracious donations during these troubling times, Angels in Waiting (AIW) has expanded into other states throughout America. These dedicated Nurses offer vital love and support to America’s forgotten medically fragile foster care infants and children.

Please check out the newly published children's book called “The Wish.” Our “Angels” in waiting foster care infants and children are the inspiration for this story. The Wish represents the emotions and desires of our abused, abandoned and forgotten foster care infants and children who have touched the lives and hearts of the Nurses who care for them. Our hope is that the irresistibly cute, lovable characters evoke sympathy as well as empathy for those less fortunate than ourselves, and desire to help the helpless. The moral of the story imparts hope, understanding, and the acceptance of our differences. Please check out the first edition family approved “Dove Awarded” children's book called “The Wish” on our website. WWW.angelsinwaitingUSA.org

We realize money is tight, and the vast majority of American’s do not have any unessential funds… If you can't donate money now, you could give some of your time to cast the net of awareness with an email to your friends and family. Angels in Waiting foundation truly helps save childhoods by moving America’s foster care infants and children from our CPS Offices, hospitals, group homes and nursing institutions into the homes of Register Nurses who nurture, heal and advocate for them- in the hospital's, classrooms and in Family Courtrooms across America. AIW helps to save a child and ensure a childhood by ending the child's time in the Foster Care System; finds permanent homes for them; and paves the way to better lives with continued resources for America’s vulnerable little ones.

Because of America’s growing economic crisis, job layoffs and housing foreclosures, too many of America's precious infant's and children are becoming medically fragile at the hands of their parents. Now, more than ever, America's foster care infants and children need your compassion and support. Thank you for your continued support of Angels in Waiting and your dedication to improving the lives of America’s foster children. Feel free to tell your friends about Angels in Waiting and their incredible work and please check out their precious and beautifully illustrated children's book. Linda West-Conforti RN

An Extraordinary Nurse Versus An Ordinary Nurse

Linda Conforti — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:38:16 GMT

A NOTE FROM GLOBALGIVING:

This is the second in a series of snapshots about project leader Linda Conforti and her organization Angels in Waiting.

Thank you for your continued support of Linda and her tireless dedication to improving the lives of America’s foster children. We ask you to contribute again today! Feel free to tell your friends about Linda and her incredible work!

An Extraordinary Nurse Versus An Ordinary Nurse

Linda Conforti has been a neonatal and pediatric intensive care nurse for over 25 years. Over her career she has noticed an alarming increase of methamphetamine use among pregnant women, resulting in infants being born prematurely. Sadly, many birth mothers abandon their babies who are fighting for their lives in neonatal intensive care units across the country.

In 2005, Linda decided that she was going to become the voice for these souls and recruit nurses to take them into their homes, heal them, adopt them, or find adoptive homes for them.

“In high school I took a course … called medical occupations,” says Linda. “There was a nurse who taught that class. She inspired me to become an extraordinary nurse versus an ordinary nurse.”

Linda established Angels in Waiting with the goal to pair compassionate, capable, and trained nurses with medically fragile foster care infants and children and provide them with a loving, safe, and nurturing environment.

Caring for Nomads from the Canadian Wilderness to the Beaches of California

Linda Conforti — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:49:48 GMT

A NOTE FROM GLOBAL GIVING: Please welcome Linda Conforti. She is a new project leader here at GlobalGiving and over the past few weeks we have had the opportunity to get to know her and the great work she does for her organization Angels in Waiting.

Periodically over the next two months we will be sending you snapshots about Linda’s life and work. We encourage your feedback about this new form of project update so that we can provide you with the most interesting and relevant information possible about the projects and causes you support.

We thank you for your contributions to ask you to please donate again now to Linda and Angels in Waiting! Feel free to tell your friends about Linda and her incredible work!

Linda Conforti grew up on the frozen tundra of Labrador, Canada, the daughter of a military family. As a child, she witnessed the migration of caribou, wolves, and the nomad Indians called Eskimos by the people in her town. On winter days when the temperature measured 50 degrees below zero, Linda watched the nomad Indians pass through the military base in search of food. Linda remembers her mother putting out canned food and fretting when she forgot to place a can opener with her offering.

Linda has never forgotten the sight of the procession of families with young children, wild dogs, sleds, carrying bags full of clothing made of the pelts of harbor seals, muskrat, and bear. “I was stunned on how any human could live in this harsh existence, let alone migrate with the caribou and the wolves toe in toe,” says Linda.

Although Linda now lives in Southern California, a world away from the nomad Indians traveling to survive in forsaken climates, she has found a new nomad culture that needs her help – America’s infants and children in foster care. “These children also have to survive in harsh and brutal conditions,” says Linda. Her organization Angels in Waiting works to place medically fragile foster children with trained nurses who can provide them a loving, safe, and nurturing home environment.

Helping Angels In Their Time of Need...

Linda Conforti RN — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:38:14 GMT

Their first step is in your hands.

We would like to thank our gracious supporters who donated their hard earned cash to our cause during this economic crisis. We not only have succeeded in obtaining a permanent position on Global Giving’s website, we also have recruited five more Registered Nurses to care for America's medically fragile foster care infants and children! Your donated dollars will go towards the recruitment and training of more qualified nurses for this worthy cause. Please continue to support America's abused and abandoned premature infants and children by passing on this noble endeavor to your family and friends. Due to our recent economic crisis, child abuse is increasing to alarming numbers across America. Our foster care infants and children need our help more now than ever! With state budget cuts impacting parenting classes and drug abuse/ rehab courses, America's infants and children are in greater risk for neglect and abuse. Please consider helping America's most precious resource… her children. Sincerely, Linda West Conforti R.N. Project Leader ~We are all Angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another … we will all fly higher when we embrace one another.

Helping Our Own!
