Another family

The Sherbinos, Leya’s new family, told friends of theirs about our nursery.  This couple is also from Blantyre as it is difficult to adopt from the orphanages down there. They were on holiday at Nkhata Bay which is just an hour away and came to see us while the Sherbinos were still here.  Jemma, the hopeful mother, picked up Samson and was ready to keep him.  Samson is almost 4 months and has no real family except a very old grandma.  We still need to contact his family to ensure that they will allow the adoption.  If they will, then we will asses this family to see if they meet our criteria for foster parenting first and then at a later date we would follow through with the adoption. 

We are very happy that another baby may be getting a home but as with Leya my nannies aren’t too thrilled.  We have had Samson since he was 2 weeks old and he only weighed 4.5 lbs.  Since Leya left we only have 6 children and if Samson goes that leaves us with 5.  Not only are they sad about his possible leaving but they are also concerned about their jobs.  I continue to reassure them that their jobs are secure and that we will get more babies in the future once more people know about us. 

We know that there are babies out there that need our help so please pray with us that the Lord leads these families to us.
