Two New Kids Join the Ranks!

Today we were prepared to receive Derik, a 10 year old by from the Caribbean province of Limón.  He is a boy who has largely been neglected by his biological mother.  While we were in the process of signing the necessary documents for his arrival into the homes, the social worker received a call that a 6 month old baby she was transporting to a different children’s home would not be received due to her age.  They had already traveled 7 hours from the coast and they would have to take Susana back to the public institution she was from.  We quickly talked to our house parents and we decided to take her on the spot!  So, today we received two for one!  We couldn’t be happier that both Derik and Susana are here with us!
