Project Cuddle on Oprah
May 14 2007

I’ve decided that I need to start watching more Oprah.   I usually don’t have the opportunity to watch her show often, but on many occasions I hear about a show that I wished I had seen.  So now I’m recording them.  On Friday night I was able to watch two shows from last week.  One was called A Mother’s Day Special where Maria Shriver interviewed Demi Moore and Vanessa Williams on their motherhood experiences.  The other was a show Oprah called Cheers to You where she visited people at their place of work and then brought them on the show to experience the applause that she experiences almost every day.  On that show, she brought in a woman, Debbe Magnusen, who founded a program called Project Cuddle.  What an amazing program!!  Debbe helps pregnant women either become better equipped to mother their own kids or helps them find an adoptive family for her baby.  So far she has helped 570 babies and their families.  Pregnant women call her and she helps arrange prenatal care for them immediately.  She then helps identify the ‘perfect’ adoptive family.

Debbe happens to be friends with John Stamos’ mother and John has used his celebrity status to help promote Project Cuddle.  What a great thing to do!  I definitely agree with Oprah:  Cheers to YOU Debbe!
