Wow, we received so many blessings last week as we admitted
FIVE new children to Angel House and in fact they all came within three days!
Of course we can’t disclose many details for their privacy, but here is a brief
summary of these new arrivals.
Last Wednesday we responded to an urgent call regarding a
one-month baby boy, where the birth mother had given her newborn to a neighbor in
an illegal adoption, so the social welfare department were obliged to take the
child into the custody of Angel House. Our social worker will follow the proper
process in making this baby legally available for adoption. This is a reminder
to everyone interested in adoption to do it legally through the DSWD. PHOTO: A
very cute one-month old joins the family.
On Thursday morning we had a walk-in client from a nearby
town that wanted to put her two young children in the temporary care of Angel
House as she is a single mother and needs to work in order to provide a better
future for her family. The four-year old girl is very confident and settled in
quickly, while her seven-month old sister just looks so cute. PHOTO: So nice to
have another two girls.
On Friday morning we received two adorable brothers ages
four years and two years, they were very quiet and it will take them a few days
to settle down and feel at home in Angel House. Their single mother has hearing
difficulties and this makes her speech very unclear, so both boys consequently
have speech delay. We will send the older boy to Daycare so that he can socialize
and begin to communicate more. PHOTO: These two brothers will flourish with our
loving care.
So, our hardworking staff are facing the challenges of
caring for all of our fourteen children, including four infants; it takes dedication
and careful organization to ensure that each child receives all the love and
attention they so desperately need.
