Smile.......we just could not get a smile out of Miss Chen. But before and after this picture, she was joking and smiling with us and her mother. Looking at this picture, can you believe this is a momma of two boys and divorced.....at age 17? yup! Her youngest turns 1yr old in June.
This mom was referred to us through someone we know. We thought she had a newborn, but after talking with her mom, we discovered baby boy was already 5months old. She was living in the next county with current boyfriend, who was abusive. Grandma brought momma to us with baby. The day before they came, boyfriend attempted suicide with baby in hand! BLAH!! some people!
Momma did not live at MLH, a non resident case. She now lives with her mom and is hopefully going back to school. We are encouraging her to work or go to school.
Thank the Lord, all has been completed and baby boy has a great family that will love him. The mom and grandma picked through THREE families!! what a process, but you could tell how much they loved him. Mom is young, from a single parent family. Birth father is in jail for drunk driving and attempting suicide with baby. When he gets out, he may search for baby. This is why they want baby to go overseas.
So, this is one of our Mommas!

Wow Deana, these stories leave me speechless. Continued prayers sent to Taiwan--so much to pray for! We constantly pray for and think about Janie/Lexie's birth mom. These situations the girls and women live thru are so heartbreaking
