News About the Foster Children/Home

The paperwork is being finished for the orphanage but we have the first and only permit for a Casa Hogar (Shelter for Children) in our County. Please pray that all paperwork will be finished soon (Things move VERY slowly here) so we can accept more children. There is such a great need.
Laura has finished first grade! She has now started second. We are trying to catch her up to the grade she is supposed to be in which is third. The ‘real her’ is now showing after her being here for eight months. We have been praying for that. We knew it was not possible that she was that obedient all the time. It is good to know she feels comfortable enough now to act out sometimes, if you know what we mean.
Luis had a birthday this past March. He turned six. He also lost his first two teeth and is very excited about that. He has no bottom front teeth. He is learning his numbers and letters in school and LOVES to help around the house.
Javier had a birthday in February. He is now three. He is gaining confidence and talking more. I’ve noticed that he doesn’t really like talking Spanish very much. We need to address some of the physical problems he has such ask horribly dry skin and rashes.
Pati is growing like a weed! We hope to be able to take her in to have her legs checked as they are not even and one is a bit bent probably due to poor care (or no care) during pregnancy. She is a very happy baby and will turn 2 in July.
