Weekend visitor!

I rarely share what I do outside of the home--and that is because 95% of my time is spent ministering to my children.  However, a few hours a week I bike across the river to an orphanage, the one that used to care for our son Ethan.  I spend time lovin' on the children, encouraging the staff and taking care of medical needs when they arise {which is often}.  

Over the course of the past few months I have fallen in love with Regan.  And who would have known that he is the actual, biological cousin of our two boys Ethan and Elijah {Regan's birthfather is the brother of Elijah and Ethans birthmother}. And although Regan's birthfather is still alive he is incapable of caring for his son due to his choice to live a sinful lifestyle.  The uncle, who is a soldier, would be willing to take Regan, however, he knows that his wife would mistreat the child if he brought him home {a norm in this culture}.

With that said, Regan spent the weekend with us!  How fun--and what is one more when you already have eleven?!  He is a delightful little boy {quiet and shy}.  Please pray with us as we seek the Lords perfect will concerning Regan--if we are to become his parents. As for now, he is going to be spending weekends with us.
