Yes, we are beginning to add new kids. This is Areli who has been with us about 2 weeks now. Her story is quite sad. Her mom was in a very abusive relationship and was driven to suicide. Areli has no father figure. A caring neighbor took her to the judge as no one stepped forward to care for her. Then we were asked to take her in. She was attending a catholic school and the Mother Superior has decided to send her teacher over once a week to "home school" Areli so she can finish her school year with the same teacher. (Of couse our school year ends in December.) A child with a warm and ready smile for everyone, she was obviously very loved by her mom.
In addition, today we have been asked to received 3 children- an 11 yr. old girl, an 8 yr. old boy, and a 5 yr. old girl. They are brother and sisters being permanently removed from chronic alcoholic parents. It appears that they haven't been attending school with any regularity either. Keep Juliana, Edgar, and Maribel in your prayers. too.
