Orphanage Update - He arrives

Background:We on November 20, 2006 received a call from Pat Smith, a missionary in Mirebalis who has an orphanage/crèche. She asked if we had room for two children and I told her to send the children with the parents and we will talk with them to determine if we can take in the children.The next day November 21st, at 7:00 am three parents with three children appear at our house. I had them go to the children’s home and I came a couple of hours later to talk with them and to look at their documents.The documents for Keembert were in order but I sent the mama and child back to Mirebalis and told them to return on Friday the 24th. I did this to give the mama time to think through the giving of her child as I explain to her that it is quite possible that, after Kleembert leaves for the States that she may never see him again. She said that she understood this and that she simply could not care for Keembert as she has the other children who are in the care of her mother.The father had died while Nicole was pregnant with Kleembert. She told me that he was living in the Dominican Republic and that someone put voodoo powder on or near him and he died three days later.
