The idea of caring for another human being was pulling on Pam’s heartstrings. That’s when Youth & Family Services called.

Knowing Pam is a retired nurse, YFS connected her with Angel, a baby who developed RSV, a respiratory virus. Pam met Angel in the ICU, where she would hold her while singing “Jesus loves you.”

There was no doubt that Angel was a miracle baby. Angel continues to grow stronger every day.

Watching Angel grow up, Pam felt she needed younger parents. Everything fell into place when she met another fellow nurse at a YFS conference.

With the help of YFS, Pam and Angel became a family with Brian and Melissa, who adore Angel.

“Everything she is is what was missing from our home,” Melissa said.
