Birthday Celebration


We celebrated three birthdays this week: Luana turned 7, Willian is now 12, and Lucilene started her teenage years. This was Luana's first birthday at CLM and she was overwhelmed with the attention and gifts. Her mother was only 11 years old when she had her and being a little girl herself, wasn't able to give her the attention she needed. While our other first graders are sounding out words and adding numbers, she has difficulty identifying her letters and numbers and often confuses the two. Willian is a bright boy and does well in school. Unlike our other children, he has visits with both his mom and dad, who are both interested in assuming guardianship of him. Lucilene also struggles with her schoolwork and has been working to master her multiplication facts. She and her younger sister and brother, Janete and Elielton have recently become available for adoption. Thank you for praying for the needs of each of these special children.
