I know I still need to write the q & a about foster care.
I have started to write it several times but I get overwhelmed!
But I will definitely get to it!
Today I have something super special that I already know you’ll want to be a part of.
Mr. Tiny is transitioning to go home with his Mama in the next few weeks!
She has worked so hard to get to this day and I am so proud of her!
She loves him beautifully.
Foster care is new to me and it has been a roller coaster of emotions all along the way but right now I am filled with hope for his future and hers!
Let me tell you how rad this kid is:
1. He is happy ALL THE TIME!
2. He loves life from sun up to sun down.
3. He smiles at everyone he meets.
4. He rarely cries and he sleeps all night.
He has been the biggest JOY for our entire family.
I know that so many of you are in love with him just from his pictures!
I thought one way to show love and support for his mom, for Tiny and for me as his foster mom would be to throw her a baby shower!
Soooo…. you are invited to a virtual baby shower!
All of the gifts with none of the cheesy baby games. 😉
I made an Amazon “registry” for all kinds of things that would be a blessing to Tiny and his mom.
It’s got big items like a crib all the way down to little bitty baby socks.
There are clothes for the coming summer & winter, books and toys.
And even the very practical items like formula and diapers.

I want Tiny’s mama to know that she has support and that she is loved.
Let’s bless her socks off!

I don’t even know if I see who did the purchasing.
My family will make sure everything is given to Tiny’s mama.
Thanks for being a part of my life through this blog!
I hope you feel inspired to help others today.
Giving generously is the best feeling!!!
This verse was the focus of the sermon at my church on sunday and I’m gonna leave it here for you too.

I want to be that kind of giver… “always ready to share with others”.
Laura - Just love this. <3 Awesome!! Our local ministry #chosenforlife is having a fundraiser assisting adoption, fostercare <3. I'll commit the $ there since Tiny is covered in Love & diapers. Thanks for standing in the gap!
cornelia krahn - I live in Colorado but was in Kansas last weekend. I saw Meg and Tiny in a store and became like a stammering groupie. I actually asked Meg if I could approach her because I didn’t want to violate Tiny’s privacy. She’s right-he smiles at everyone and is a beautiful baby. He and his mother are very lucky!
Tracy - I have a feeling the reason Tiny is so happy and well adjusted is a tribute to you and your loving family!! His life (and his mama’s) have been blessed by you. <3
Jen Gallizzo - I was too late!! What an amazing idea of a virtual shower. You are full of love and this baby and mama clearly blessed to have your support!!
alice h - how amazing of you to do this and that everything has been bought!! I came to buy something and felt so happy for Tiny and his momma!!
Robin Allen - This is great, my friend is an amazing foster mom, this support is so crucial for everyone to be successful in reuniting…so proud of mama for working so hard…both of their smiles are priceless..you have been such a positive in their lives…
You make us all want to foster these precious kids..
Jill - Our sermon was based on the exact same verse!
jenn - MEG! TINY! i’m in freakin tears reading this news. way to go, tiny’s mom❤️ and way to go meg and friends…. what an amazing showering of love and hope. tiny, i love you. meg, i love you and i’m sending the hugest hug❤️
meg duerksen - They were there but already purchased. He’s got diapers forever! 🙂
meg duerksen - everything is purchased! It’s so cool!
Jerri - Meg how awesome the list was fufilled so quickly! I noticed even doubles
of many items. I was wondering if there is a Women’s Care Center near you that any extras could go to? Here locally the Center has a Shepher’s Fold and when the women come in for weekly Bible study they earn points to “shop” with. This is a wonderful ministry that has saved so many of the innocent unborn. Blessings! ❤️💙💚💛🧡💜💗
meg duerksen - I’m guessing another opportunity will arise at some point. Thanks!
meg duerksen - NO you aren’t challenged! I refilled the list several times and everything is purchased! It’s so awesome!
Laura - I a truly technically challenged or your list is empty. Want to make another one?
Amber - Hey Meg!
Everything is gone!! How awesome! Any way that I can still help?
Amber
B - Thank you for doing this!! My mother in law did more than 65 foster babies and one of them was at my baby shower for my first born. I was given everything for my son, and that poor baby had NOTHING of his own. My little one was celebrated and anticipated, and that little guy was at the mercy of kind strangers. It made me so sad about the injustice in the world. I am so happy mama is going to be reunited with her lovely little one!!!!!
Katie - I don’t see anything on the list – does that mean it’s all purchased?
Betsy Frost - Are there anymore items that could be added? The last thing that’s out there is the Desitin, but I’m guessing it’s not being ordered because it’s an “Add On” item and one must purchase at least $25 worth of items in order to buy it and send it. I’d love to help!
Kelly - What a beautiful gesture and I am happy to be able to participate. I am so glad that they are being reunited though I am sure that his absence will leave a hole in your hearts until the next little one that needs love comes your way. Thank you for sharing this journey with us all.
Kate - Meg,
I missed out and the list is already fulfilled, Can you add additional items? PLEASE!!! I really want to support this amazing Mom!
Monica - Meg-
What a wonderful idea! The list is almost fulfilled. Could you add more diapers, maybe in bigger sizes? You know he will need those soon!
rebecca - just a note…if you are trying to donate and get sent to Meg…make sure nothing else is in your amazon cart otherwise your non donated stuff will get sent too 🙂
Ashley - I could hardly check out fast enough! Had to keep removing and picking new items because someone already purchased them. 🙂 Hope to see the list totally wiped out shortly!!
Jennifer S - I love foster care moms and all of the good it can do, especially when families can be reunited! A little something is coming from us here in North Carolina. So much love and hope for Tiny and his sweet Mom!
Holly rice - I have a little boy that is 10 months old… would you accept gently used items from a boy who has way too much and would love to share?? I could easily come up with a box of toys and clothes to send your way if you’re willing to accept them! Let me know. Thanks!!
