This sweet little guy ran right up to our group and to our friend Mark. He put up his arms, asking to be held. Mark scooped him up and he held on tightly! So sweet.
Jaden outside of Esther's Home, where birthmothers live until they have their babies (and beyond).
We took a tour of the place, then sat in the chapel and had a chance to hear from about 10 birthmothers. Some of them pregnant, some already had given birth. Some already deciding to keep their children, others still trying to decide. We had a chance to ask questions and they asked questions of us. They were worried that the kids "hate" them if they choose to place their babies for adoption. They were worried that their children would be safe and happy in their new lives. They were worried that they would never see their children again. The kids asked some questions but most just poured their hearts out to these young women and told them that they love and miss and always think of their birthmothers. Tears were pouring from everyone's eyes...kids, parents, birthmothers.
