I certainly hope so bro! Not sure anyone on here knows, but my wife and I are fostering a baby girl who was left abandoned at the hospital about a year ago. So I have a special place in my heart for kids who are hurt, killed or left abandoned. We hope to adopt her, but the process has been painstakingly slow.
Hi Mike,
That is wonderful that you and your wife are doing that ministry of love for that special girl. :grin: ((((HUG))))
From 1970 to early 1975 my Dad was a night manager for the Cincy Children's Home and he, my Mom, sister and myself lived in an apartment on the Home grounds. The backgrounds of those kids who were in residential cottages at the Home were heart breaking and tragic.

We invited some of the kids to come to church with us and back then my Dad during that time was allowed to have Bible study encounter meetings with the kids and some staff.

Sometimes a kid would run away, get apprehended and Dad would have to go to downtown Cincy to juvenile hall to pick them up if their charge wasn't a felony. I remember one time accompanying Dad to juvenile hall as kind of like a field trip and I remember an officer who worked there, asked something seriously to the effect of "So have you brought me another one?" when he saw me. It was a very humbling experience in many ways those years at the Home and knowing that my family was ministering to those compassion and love starved children. It was humbling too looking around the juvenile hall office depts and outside the courtroom door.
My sister and myself rode bicycles with some of the kids and swam with them in the Home outdoor swimming pool. We also walked to classes at a nearby elementary school with some of the kids also.
