Here's the newest kids at the Home. Pablo was abandoned and bought here by the government when he was 1.5 months old. He's the one enjoying the milk and rocking chair.Not too much longer we finally obtained legal custody for Michael. I don't know if he has improved significantly in the past few months or if things were made out to be worse than they really were. He's deaf in one ear and nearly deaf in the other. He has BPD (bronchial pulmonary dysplasia) which is common in premature kids. He's currently 3 and the doctors say he's not expected to make it past the age of 7. Based on what I'm seeing, he very well may out live me. He now seldom to never needs oxygen. Prince George Volunteer Rescue Squad (my hometown) donated a portable pulse oximeter that helps us to easily monitor his oxygen status. Thanks PGEC! Michael is in blue and riding piggy back on Violetta.
I'm in the middle picture with most of our "babies" (birth thru 3 years old). Michael's in the very center, sitting on my lap.
On the same day that Michael arrived, the government also called and asked us to take in 4 others. We said no, our hands are full right now. They bought the kids by "just for us see" and of course we kept them. These kids are in the picture on the right. They were found in a shack with the door locked. The neighbors said the mother left days ago and never came back. Nobody knows if she was injured or worse or if she abandoned her 4 kids. The 10 year old girl was raising her 8 yr old brother, 3 year old sister, and 2 yr old baby brother. Wow! I've been really impressed with the character of the 2 oldest kids. The picture above was taken during a church service where we dedicated all the new kids.
