girafffe list for S


Today we were in another small community where one of our former foster daughters' has returned to live with her mom.
S was a ray of sunshine in our home and we miss her dreadfully. When she left we didn't get everything belonging to her packed up and as laundry loads were completed and we packed up to move we put a box together of things that belonged to her that we needed to return.
Since she has been back with her mom we have visited twice. Once we stopped by and dropped some things off and they were not home. Today was the third time we have stopped by since she returned home in September 2007. When Shel went to the door there was some discussion about wether it was a good idea to visit or not. Mom's new boyfriend expressed that S became very upset following our visits... so we won't do it again. (We don't have a phone number to call in advance or we would call first)
We took the things into the house and S wanted to show me her bedroom.
If I had giraffe money I would buy the following things for S anonymously - so her mom and boyfriend don't feel bad - and because of all the kids in the world, this one should be surrounded by the things that bring her joy.

1. Princess sheets
2. Princess curtains
3. Princess quilt
4. Canopy bed
5. Pink wall paint for her bedroom
6. Princess towel
7. A castle dollhouse
8. A dress up closet with lots of tiaras, feather boas, high heeled shoes and earrings.
