We were asked if the boys could stay longer than anticipated. We (of course) said yes. Our hearts are surrendered for your using, Lord. We serve a God of reconciliation and we praise Him for allowing us to stand in the gap and pray for their mom as she tries to put her life back together again.
We thank God for His hand of protection over these boys in bringing to light the (serious) problems with their father and the unsafe situation they were almost released back into. He is so faithful and good. Now the mom can take responsibility for herself, and eventually create a new home for her boys.
Until then, we are still a family of 8!
