This time, about 30 or more people gathered-children and adult. We had foster moms, foster dads, foster kids, caregivers and a few more people. The children played, the adults talked and prayed. It was a good morning. It's amazing to see these families break out of cultural and social norms to care for these children. The concept of blood and family is strong here- caring for someone outside of that circle is rare. The true love of these families for truly high need children is amazing to see. Many of these children will not be adopted as their medical issues are high. They need families like these to foster them in order to live and thrive.
Caregiver to child ration was pretty good!
The heartbreaking-this little guy has undefined issues...and even an undefined age.
