even when they are little. for boys they say one of the things they don't like is not being able to be a mother. >> oh, interesting. >> yeah. because -- >> they don't want the labor i'm guessing. >> no they don't understand probably that part. >> okay. yeah. >> especially young boys i think relate so well to their mother that's probably something they identify with. >> they can be a parent though. >> absolutely. >> i wonder what they mean when they say they can't be a mother. >> right. that not allowed to be a cheerleader. >> in college. >> yeah, but i think it's a little different. >> that they are supposed to like science. interesting. >> or they are supposed to like math. that would be the one.

welcome back. magdalia proft-maikowski was a foster child herself and at 13 adopted siblings. that's part of the reason why she wanted to adopt a child of her own. many children right? november is national adoption awareness month. for the need of foster and adoptive feels that never ends. >> give them a little wave. >> look at you on tv. >> there you are. >> you look good. that's is why it's important to have the support of organizations such as children's hospital of wisconsin. ma matt maikowski are he we have omari with me. where is my cookie? oh. >> he ate it that's what he is saying already in miss mouth. gray son is the one sitting with tiffany they are here tod with more on their story about foster and adoption services at children's hospital. you guys thank you so much for being here. >> thank you for being here with us on tv. how old are you? >> the boys came to us in may. we were doing respite care for another family while they were

need a home, we were like no thank you. >> were you? >> we were like no we only want one. then we talked about it and it ended up being the right choice for our family. >> that's great. he is stepping closer to the camera so he can see a closeup. >> it's amazing to think you had 13 adopted siblings. >> you want to around a little bit. oh, you want to sit on the couch. good that's perfect. >> that's a lot. >> yes. >> you had adoptive parents that took in tha many kids. that's incredible. >> yeah. >> what did you sense in their heart or lives that allowed them to have room for that many children? >> my parents just had a huge passion for helping and advocating for kids. so, i grew up with that all my life all my time with them. th fostered almost 100 kids

level, a national level hng different organizations, and, you know, it's just, it inspired me to want to give back. >> uh-huh. >> that is so awesome. what would you say to other but maybe think oh, i wonder if i would like to, oh, that's for me thank you? come on up here. no don't put that in your mouth we don't want you to choke. what would you say to other people who maybe would consider adoption? >> w there is a place for everyone -- >> he is like yeah. i think so too. >> if you have any any inclination at all you might want to do it at least check it out. you know go to some of the classes, or talk to i mean there are so many resources out there it's amazing just to call someone and they will explain things what you need to do, who you need to talk to and kind of go through a step by step of

>> a lot of people fear adoption because it takes so long. they desperately want a child, but the process is so long and they are afraid they may never get picked or it may never happen for them. how did you feel about the process and what is it sort of like for a lot of parent who is are looking? >> so you know, the process itself, to get licensed and to be able to take children to your home isn't that long. it took us about 3 and a half months before we were fully licensed. so we were a little bit more cautious with what kind of children we wanted to bring into our home. we wanted a child that was more of a short thing.

>> what you say a sure thing you mean you want to be sure they will be part of your family. >> whether the boys came to us they were in need of an adoptive resource. that was their own path. we knew that was what was going to happen. so, -- >> saw the cookies. [laughter] >> food is all you need. [laughter] >> you can have it now. just kidding. >> he psyched me. >> we did wai18 we were placed with the boys. it was a long wait, but along the way we advocated in other ways where we felt like we were still offering something to the community sitting on panels, doing our training, helping other families when they needed respite care. >> yeah. >> and it happened in the time it was supposed to happen. had we gotten the boys sooner so many things have changed in our life in that 18 months that you know, that may have not been the right time. this was the right time.

were adopted yourself that you almost have sort of like, do you feel a sense of responsibility to sort of give back in that same way? >> pay it forward? >> yeah. >> definitely do. not every adoptive person goes and adopts a bunch of kids, but, that was something that was just a part of who my family was. i always knew i wanted to be a mother, and i always knew that eventually i wanted to adopt and i was fortunate enough to have family who wanted that f future also. and you know it worked out. it worked out for us. >> you weren't adopted right matt? >> no. >> was that something that you thought was special about magdalia. >> it was. it was a little crazy. stepping into a family that had 13 siblings plus significant others and children and holidays are 40 people and my holidays are 10.

mag and just the way she carried herself and the way she felt about family and helping others. >> that's awesome. >> he is like oh, it's time to go down.

>> >> bye. >> thanks you guys. still ahead why a certain penguin has a mustache. >> uh-huh and up next a mother's growing understanding of her son's desire to wear easter

welcome back to the morning blend. 24 years ago julie tarney's 2-year-old son harry told her inside my head i am a girl. every child expert julie talked to said et cet it's just a phase willgrow out of it. and encouraged her to just wait. then she realized he was happiest when he dressed like a girl. >> she wanted to make her son happy and for him to be his julie is here to talk about her new memoir, called my son wears heels one mom's journey from clueless to kick ass. >> thank you s much for having me. >> what an important conversation. >> i'm sure you find now with writing a book and this topic being so almost main stream that it is much easier to approach, but in your time, in 1992, when your son said this to you, there was no internet, there were no terms of transgender or

that meant for you in that moment when your son said that to you. >> um, it was very confusing for me. i had no idea what it meant. as you said there were very few resources, there were no books, there was no internet. there was no community. and i had a lot of questions. and i just wasn't sure where to go with them. so that's the clueless part. and i wish that there had been the language that there is today. that gender nonconforming had sometimes gender creative or gender fluid. or transgender. i would have been much happier and i wish that i could have said to harry, you're gender nonconforming and that's who you are. >> and that's okay. >> and that's okay and there are a lot of kids like you. i may not know any right now, but there are a lot of kids like

it was nice of you to share these photos with us and there are great shots in your book as well. he dresses up for halloween i know he loves halloween you make that point in the book. he loves to dress up. he has been in theatre. you're thinking, you know i'm worried. what will people think if i let him wear a skirt or if i have two close a bond to him will i make him too feminine. those were all concerns you had right? >> they were because at that time, um, if your child didn't fit into a box that was either pink or blue, the gender binaries it is called it meant that the parents were doing something to the cld. >> something wrong. >> something wrong and it was typically blamed of the mother. the mother was going to derail the boy's masculinity or she was

or controlling. i worried about that because, i was kind of controlling. [laughter] >> hey. a lot of us moms are like that. i get that. >> you have to keep the house in order. >> exactly. >> that's a big blame game that is going on and there is so much guilt i'm sure that can be brought from that of the is it my fault? but even experts told you wait it out at 2 it was too early to even have these kinds of thoughts or go along with it. they told you to wai anyone i just had my dr. spoc book. from dr. spoc's perspective gender identity is something that develops. but, the expectations was that it would develop into being either a boy or girl and it was just wait and see. wait until he or she is 5 or 6-year-old.

have to wait three or four years what about right now? what do i do now? >> is i did you have a sense you needed to respect or honor what he said he was feeling on the inside? >> i did because my goal as a parent was, for my kid to be happy, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem and so i was myself is what i'm about to say or do, how is my child going to feel when i say that? >> uh-huh. >> and hi to dig really deep a couple of times on how to respond. for example when he was 2, he asked me how i knew he was a boy? and that was a question that just came out of nowhere for me. i wasn't sure how to answer so i gave him an anatomy lesson that's what the doctor said.

because he had been running through the sprinkler with his friends in the neighborhood so he knew there were differences. i said that is such an interesting question what made you think of it? he just said matter of factually well inside my head he said i'm a girl. >> and his cousin you want to be when you grow up and he said -- >> he said a girl. of course he believed because his dad and i were very strongly told him that he could grow up to be whatever he wanted. so of course he thought, well if i want to be a girl i can be a girl. >> is he transgender as the term implies does he have a girl's name, does he, do you use the pro noun she when you refer to your son harry now.

saying harry and your son, some transgender people choose to assign themselves a female or male name oppose of how they are born? your thoughts on that? >> transgender is really an umbrella term. it's a spectrum of which gender nonconforming or nonbinary which is a term harry uses now to describe himself. i say him because he doesn't he says mom, other peoples pronoun use has no bearing on how i feel about myself whatsoever. so transgender is really an umbrella term, but i think it's more recently been come to be understood as someone who was born or assigned male at birth, but who feels like they're in the wrong body.

great way of explaining transgender, but, they were assigned one gender at birth, but they feel inside that they are a different gender. for harry, harry feels neither male or female. this idea of the gender binary, boy, girl, male, female, pink or blue he really feels neither and he is just on the spectrum and he likes some things that are considered feminine or some things that are considered masculine or traits. that list beginning was perfect example. >> did you like that? >> yeah. >> how about, how about dating does he date and does he have a preference for male or female? >> harry dates men or other boys or um, he i mean, this is a question that comes up frequently and i think it's a good place to explain the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation.

parallel, but really not the same. gender identity refers to how you feel about yourself. how you feel inside. who you know yourself to be. sexual orientation is who you are attracted to. diane who wrote the foreword it my book explains it that sexual orientation is who you go to bed with, and gender identity is who you go to bed as. >> that'sci >> i love the way you have honored your son and even some of the things like wearing girls clothes and i love just really quickly how you say looking back over my life as a parent i felt like i have made more right choices as harry's mom than wrong ones yet i have made some mistakes. he has reminded me while helping you pack your personal life of the things you have done to honor his authentic self. i think it is wonderful. thank you for sharing it with

can get a copy of the book. people are approaching you to petition to make it a movie. i think it's fascinating you wrote it and really a tribute to him. >> thank you so much. >> great to meet you. the ornament you must get for your tree this year. we'll tell you more about the meaning behind this year's macc star. also ahead only one place like it in wisconsin. a post secondary educational

welcome back to the morning blend. today's tmj macc star is a holiday tradition. the designer is 11-year-old bailey. diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in march last year. she loves penguins and she wears a mustache and requires everyone wear one too when she has treatments. you will see a mustache on the penguin. >> love it. >> bailey is not the first in her family to be a macc star designer. her twin sister, also battles the disease. she was the macc star designer back in 2014 after being diagnosed with cancer. >> the macc star is one way the macc fundraises research dollars for childhood cancer and related blood disorders.

partnering with the macc fund. welcome back thank you for being here again. >> thank you for having me again. >> i know it's that time of year when we see you. >> you sure must have a collection of these on your tree. i know we love them. we hope you do too. >> i love the fact they use the same ornament itself each year, but that each one is so unique because they are personal to the child that has been creating them. >> uh-huh. i love it too. you guys have been involved wit now. >> we have. this is our 9th year partnering with them through our real food magazine. and if you purchase a real food magazine during our quarterly fund with macc fund 100% of those proceeds go to the macc fund as well. can you come into any sendik's and purchase the macc star and put it on your tree, you could even get like 10, 12.

should have them and get them for your friends as well. they are $10 and 100% of proceed goes to the macc fund. >> what else do you do to support the macc fund? >> we sell the magazine every time with our partners and this time around, it's really, it's a great magazine lots of good holiday recipes, but, 100% of those proceeds go. then we also do candy cane, it ties in campaign. but youif buy a candy cane at the register for $1, 100% of those proceeds go as well. i believe last year we raised about $150 million for the macc fund during that time period. and, um, there is also other promotions because we partner with them through january. and in january there are different products. we have vendor partners that help us to give large donations to macc fund as well.

or $2,500 macc stars it would be awfully nice this year to do the same thing for the macc fund. >> it would and keep in mind it's a limited edition. it truly is because the designer makes this very special ornament. they are sold during that holiday season, and then if you don't grab one, the next year it's a different presenter. >> now this one will become vintage which of course is something very desirable. yoan them get them every year. >> absolutely. i do think it is a great gift because so many people love to give an ornament to people and what a nice way to do it with something that means something that helps other people and i love the fact that 100% of proceeds go directly back to the macc fund. >> which i think is really great. and this is a highly anticipated promotion our associates we have 1700 associates now. we opened our new store last week in west milwaukee and they

have such a great success selling and promoting for the macc fund. >> i love it. >> you have a lot of different stores people have no excuse to not have this year's limited edition. >> there are lots of and lots. >> is there 15? >> i think it's 15. this so bad you start to lose track because you get so involved in what are you doing every day. >> it's wonderful. you clearly are making a difference because we know that the macc fund when it the curate was something like 20% and now 80% of kids are being helped and cured so we need to get it to 100% and this helps with the effort. thank you so much. great to see you every year. this year's macc star is available for just $10 at your neighborhood sendik's food market that entire $10 goes to the macc fund. make sure when you pick up the star as many as you can carry that you also grab a candy cane

proceeds from what we're talking about supports this wonderful cause. >> it is wonderful. >> and who wouldn't want a mustached penguin. >> thanks for having me again. after the break giving opportunities with special needs

two year certificate for individuals with intellectual and developmental difficulties. >> tiff sat down with carole and angela whose daughter sarah is a student there. there were others including students danny. it's the only program that pairs nonprofit with the learning environment of an accredited university. >> the curriculum is so impressive it academics, career preparations and adult living skills. students leave home for the very first time and live on campus in residence halls with a roommate. the program is tailored to each student's learning style. >> students find it challenging to find post secondary opportunities especially when high school wasn't always a great experience for them. so bethesda college gives them the opportunity of a lifetime to have a college education, make new friends, practice their

clubs and activities on campus. >> the goal is an instructional bridge to independence. what a gift it is to the parents and the students alike. if you would like to learn more about attending bethesda college or how can you donate to make a difference in the life of a student visit bethesda lutheran communities .org. >> if there is a nonprofit you would like to see highlighted on the morning blend. tell us about it go to themorningblend.com click on contact us. perhaps we'll have the opportunity to give them a brew. that was really cool. >> such a cool place. >> it was such a huge deal to be able to go there. >> really neat for so many reasons. dark circles under your eyes can make you look tired even when you're not.

welcome back. there are lots of reasons for us to get dark circleles under our eyes. not enough sleep, allergies, for some they may be hereditary. they can make you tired or older than your age and look that way. here with revolutionary ways to treat the dark circles is melinda mckinsey. throughout this discussion we're going to be seeing a real time lapse video. it is untouched and it demonstrates how this new product called plexaderm works. right? >> it's so exciting taking the

just really quickly what it basically does is pull moisture to the surface of your skin while it tightens your skin. >> it's that puffiness as well as the dark circles. >> yeah. so what we tell people is anything on your face that you are worried about, a line, a crease, the bags, the puffiness because what this does is pull the moisture to the surface while it tightens your skin that's how it gets rid of those and works throughout the day. put it on once in the morning you're good to go. >> how long does it take before you really see the results of it? applying the cream so we can tell you through time life how it works. you put it on clean dry skin you put a little dab under your eye. clean dry, no prep work something i like. men as well as women nothing to think about. the reason i like the time lapse it shows the distinction. ritchie here his struggle is the under eye bags he has the actual physical bags under his eyes right. >> that's what i have too. >> it's frustrating because it doesn't matter how much

the great thing when you asked feel it working quickly right away. within a minute or so you see it decrease. >> for sure we're a minute ten seconds in. the eye on the left is exceptionally different from the eye on the right where you still see large bags. >> it's exciting so we tell people like really ten minutes tops is when the full spectrum happens so we say put the cream under your eyes, your creases, forehead lines whatever you want and dry your hair, brush your give it ten minutes on your clean dry skin. then if you have a guy if you don't want to moisturize don't. if you are a woman and want to go ahead. the only thing we say is make sure you use a moisturizer without oil. we do offer a serum if you want that in addition to make sure you're using right moisturizer. we want plexaderm to do its job. pull that moisture up and dry the skin. >> then can you put makeup over it. >> who doesn't want to do that i don't want to get rid of my bags and not wear makeup i don't go

it's at the ten minute market -- ten minute mark where it is at what plexaderm does. you don't have to think about it you put it on your skin and let it do its thing. >> this video i have seen go viral. it's a powerful product and people have tried so many different things. tea bags, ice. one thing that is really important for us to note this does n i it does not involve injections of any kind. >> yeah it's very exciting this is brand-new technology been working on this for a while. they took some of the ingredients there the shell rock, clay from the shell rock and that's how they formulate it and that's how it works. pulling up the moisture which is really important like -- >> that's why you have the rock there. >> that's why i have the rock to show where it comes from and why it is doing what it is doing. that's the big question what is the distinction between this product and the other products. the distinction is the formulation of being able to

that's why the bags go away. we're not covering them up. >> there is the rock right there. here is the cream right here. we're going to explain the serum in a moment. >> exactly. so you know what i really like about it is there is no prep work, no doctors no thinking ahead. they have been working on this quite a while. like you said it's on facebook been taking the country by storm because it works. that's why we like to do that time lapse video so people can see. not just the undereye bags lines, creases, forehead lines anything you want to fill that's what you want to use it on it's good for the day. >> taking a look at the video again. you can see after several minutes it is diminished even more so it looks perfectly healthy. >> i know that's the other thing too because remember because you are pulling the moisture to the surface of your skin that's why not everybody needs lotion. that's the issue i have. i just get the lines my skin is super dry. the other thing about ritchie he is a friendly guy, but we asked him not to smile. the reason because we want to

obviously if you smile it changes the effects. we want you to see it like that how that bag has gone away. that's really important we're not covering anything up we're actually making that go away. >> let's look at before and afters too. other demonstrations of this product, plexaderm really working and again this is just a cream. this guy -- >> can you stand it? >> i think has huge bags that looks like almost impossible. same with this woman and dark circles. >> so that's the important thing here. every kind of skin we're doing the same thing at the same time, pulling the moisture, tightening the skin. that's what you want and you want it done in a natural way. that's what is so exciting. >> could you do it on the eyelid? some people have puffy eyelids too. >> what we tell people is anything bothering you that you feel like you want tightened, play around with it and see what works for you. for me it's like the lines right here i don't know why they bother me so much. they shouldn't. they show you smile a lot, but that's my thing. for people with bags that's
