Meet Our Kids

On Thursday we picked up the first four kids from Social Services in La Ceiba.  We got to know eachother a little bit by taking them out to lunch and to a place to play.  Then we drove them up to our place and introduced them to their new family -- our house-parents and their two kids.  So far it's been going really well and the kids are settling into their new life.

We think the kids will do really well with their home out in the country.  They loved the ride up the mountain and seeing all the farm animals along the road.  Our road follows the river most of the way and one of the little girls was so excited to announce "another river!" every couple of minutes.  Up at our place the kids are thrilled with the playground, especially the swings, and are looking forward to swimming in our creek.

This is what we've been working towards for so many years!  We've finally transitioned over from the "orphanage without kids."  It's so exciting. 

Thanks to everyone who has prayed and given to help us get here.  We appreciate each and every one of you.

Note: Since this post was written two of these kids were adopted and two were claimed by their grandmother.  While we were not anticipating their quick departure, we were able to give them excellent care for the time there were with us.  We treated them for parasites and malnourishment and they left us with a healthy glow .
