Happy NEW YEAR!!
We are very hopeful this year that this is actually THE year that we will meet our little guy and join him officially into our family! Praying, hoping, and trusting, but things are going well so far. Check in here. Just taking one more step forward is a huge PRAISE! Thank you for your continued prayers!
From the end of last year, if you remember, the foster home where our little one is staying had a Measles outbreak. Read about it here. The children were having a difficult time with respiratory infections and complications with pneumonia and the Measles. Many children were sick, over a dozen were hospitalized, and to my knowledge, there were 3 children who died. A very, very sad situation and please be in prayer for those adoptive families faced with this difficult news.
During that time, our agency was collecting funds to send help to the foster home. Many of YOU helped in this effort to send supplies to the children in the foster home by donating money and nebulizer equipment. THANK YOU!!
Here is the report from our agency:
"Several of you made donations for Nebulizers to benefit the children at the foster home. With the donations we were able to purchase several handheld battery operated Nebulizers, 300 AA batteries and the extra pieces we needed for the Nebulizers. Thank You all so much for your support in this!!"
Since the outbreak in late fall of 2014, the agency has sought to move the foster home to a new location. The new compound has more outdoor play space for the children and more individual rooms that can be used to have safer isolation rooms. They will be able to have separate transition rooms for those children who are discharged from the hospital but not ready to be joined with the children. The new place will give these options to prevent spreading illnesses.
Also, with a much bigger compound the staff will be able to reduce the number of children in each room. This will help a lot as it increases the quality of individual care offered to the children.
The compound is a very clean one with lots of green space and sun. The children will enjoy spending time outside as the former location was limited to a parking pad. The bathrooms are better and even has a bathtub to give the kids a bath instead of pouring water over them. The visiting area will be much better organized and there is where the adoptive families visit with and get to know their new child.
As of Monday, January 5th, the foster home has moved to their new space. So, you are looking at the new temporary 'home' of our little boy! Someday....someday we will go there to meet with our son for the fist time.
Thank you again for your prayers and for your donations in raising funds to help the children!
