Caught Caring: Celebrity Moms Get ‘Bundled In Hope’

A new baby blanket can symbolize so much for an expectant mom, but for those who live at or below the poverty level it means one thing, and one thing only.

“Children born into poverty often face a higher level of stress” than those born to more affluent families, according to Early Childhood Advisor Judith Jerald, who adds that research and experience have shown that a favorite blanket can be a soothing and comforting transitional object.

Bundled in Hope — a joint effort of Toys ‘R’ Us and Save the Children — is poised to help.

In just its second year, the campaign is already well on its way to surpassing the success it enjoyed in 2009, when it raised more than $1 million. Celebrity moms like Constance Marie, Joely Fisher, Idina Menzel and Kelly Rutherford are doing their part, designing one-of-a-kind baby blankets which are being sold at auction.

When Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley welcomed Naleigh last September, the couple explained that they were able to adopt their daughter faster because of her special needs.

Revealed to be a congenital heart defect, it was repaired with open heart surgery before the baby girl left Korea.

“Her heart is 100 percent fine now. She has a scar, so she won’t be wearing bikinis, which is fine by us,” the Killers actress, 31, tells Harper’s Bazaar in their June cover story.

“A lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special-needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant. That’s not so huge that you couldn’t handle it.”
