We had several significant changes at CLM while we were on furlough. First, Gabriel (in red) returned to live with his mother after staying here for two years. We miss him but believe that his mother has changed and is prepared to care for him. Secondly, we received Fernando who will be one year old on Sunday, June 15th. His mother is a drug addict and alcoholic. His older sister already went for adoption and his mom is pregnant again. He has been living with a distant relative since he was 4 months old but since they had no legal permission to be taking care of Fernando, he was removed from their home. They are now in the process of trying to acquire guardianship of him. He will be going for adoption, but whether the Judge will look with favor on this family or not is questionable. Lastly, Bethany and Juan's son, Caleb arrived and is healthy and perfect. Please pray for Gabriel, Fernando, and Caleb and the destiny that God has for their lives.
