Adell

Meet our newest family member at All God's Children Orphanage. She is a precious two year old (we think) baby girl who's birth mother is mentally unstable and cannot care for her. She is malnourished and very small for two. It is a big and risky decision to take on more children, but when you see one who's needs are not being met it is so hard to say no. Families often beg Yves to take their children because they know they will be cared for here. Baby Adell would likely have died without some help and because the orphanage is at capacity and she is so small, we get the sweet blessing of caring for this precious child until she is big enough to go to the orphanage. Please pray that we can be faithful in this task and care for all her needs while continuing to serve in our other areas. Of course we will have a lot of help from Sister Odilon and the older girls who love to play momma. God brought a very sweet couple here this week who feel Adell is a long awaited answer to their prayers for a child. We will be surrogates until Adell can go home with them and feel blessed to be chosen to do so.

Here she is!!
