 Well, placement into foster care can be a difficult transition for some kids when starting a new life with a new family, especially when they don't have the basic necessities such as a blanketer toothbrush. Haiti Clotter shows us how one family is using their own personal story of adoption care to give back. It's bright and early for the Murray family and their day begins by dropping off bags filled with simple things for children of all ages that are in the foster care system. They're going back to where it all started. Allen and Brittany Murray adopted Jennifer Lita and Araya a year ago from North Home's Children and Family Services. So on the year anniversary, we wanted to do something to give back to where the girls came from. The Murray's worked with the non-profit organization that provided them more than 40 bags and the girls took it upon themselves to turn the empty duffel bags into sweet cases by adding the items. Some of these kids go into homes without anything and these girls wanted to make sure that no one else had to experience it. It was a family affair putting the sweet cases together and the girls left their mark on each bag by personalizing each one with pictures. Some of them might be sad that they're going in a foster care and then I wrote quotes on them so they could like be happy and love the family they're going to and they'll always be theirself. Quotes such as work like a captain and play like a pirate are positive reinforcement for the young kids that will receive the sweet cases. They might be happy because they might not come with anything like blankets toothbrush toys so that's why we put them in the bag so that they'd be happy. The Murray's raised $25 per bag and received about 20 quilts and blankets to donate to children once their adoption is finalized. Friends and the community also got involved with the process. It's going to be such an impact for those kids but we have so many kids coming out of home placement in our area that this will make quite an impact. Each bag also comes with a friend, a teddy bear. Jennifer says the teddy bears will provide comfort for the kids so they won't go to bed alone. In Bemidji, Haiti Clotter, Lakeland News.
