Hard Painful Truth







Theo has been asking me about the parents of the children waiting in the AFAA home in Liberia. He asks me if I know them and where they live and if it is close so he can see them when they come home.

He is not a slow child and he has asked me point blank about some of the children that he knows that their parents have given up hope. It hurts to have to admit that some of his friends have no one waiting and without a lift on this moratorium, there will be no one to take the place of the parents that have moved on.

He is particularly worried about his friend Surprise and his brother Thomas.

I was happy today to hear that a wonderful generous friend of a family that has not given up hope has donated the funds to keep the home open for another 6 months while we wait for the moratorium to lift. For some of these children, there is no place left for them to go. If the home closes, they are homeless without families.

This is the link to the pictures I took in Liberia. Only 6 of these children still have waiting families.These are the children that we are worried about. Please keep them in your prayers.
