We got these two little ones last Friday from the Katlehong hospital. Both were abandoned – one’s mother already has 3 children and didn’t want him and the other’s mother died shortly after her birth. The children were so dirty when they came that we thought they had been burned but it turned out to be dead skin which we scrubbed off. We found out yesterday that they are both HIV negative, for which we praise the Lord! We are trying to get them released for adoption.
Disclosure
2 weeks ago we disclosed to the children about their disease after much prayer and discussion. We were worried that the children would be really hurt and confused by knowing they were HIV + but they took it all in their stride. Some asked a few questions but then they just wanted to play. We know that, as they grow older, they will ask more questions. We are depending on the Lord to provide the answers to these questions that are honest, simple and understandable.
Birthday parties!
January and February are our busy months with all the birthday parties. Thanks to AFM Church for organizing the birthday parties and giving each child a gift voucher.
