Stories.....

I will be writing down stories in a book myself, and for my thesis, but I figured I might write down somethings here. Stories to let you know what we deal with.

Baby B
I got a call back in March or April was it from social services, well private foster agency, here. "Mrs. Pan, we gotta case for you," those words always get my heart pumping.
The social worker went on. There was a 40 yr old mom, in jail for selling her bank account, all personal information, to scam artists. She got caught in some problems. BUT one of her problems had appeared not long after she was put in jail. PREGNANT! She contacted social services and didn't want baby. They asked her to think about it for a month, then they'd help.
Well, she did and they did. They called me.The more I learned about the story, I shook my head. Bio mom is 40yr old, with 15yr old son and 6yr old son. The youngest is in foster care cause mom is in jail. Not to mention, mom did drugs and alcohol BEFORE going to jail. We are so thankful that she was in jail during pregnancy, God was protecting baby.
Her legal husband, who is not the father of the baby, is in another county, working (I think). But he drinks til he passes out. SINCE it isn't his baby, he is willing to sign off release forms. After all, according to the courts, they are married so it SHOULD be his.
The bio father? um.....the mom is not particularly sure. But thinks it's the one with a wife, grown kids and grandkids.......we'll stop there!
These are stories that, well, are normal. We are so thankful that God has brought these cases to us. We didn't go searching, but people came to us. This child will go on to be adopted and grow in a great loving Christian home. Not a family full of drugs and alcohol, not a family that doesn't want him. But a great family.
Pray for us as we work with mom's like this. Pray we can get a foot in the door of their heart and help the parents as well.
