Baby Josiah
Ok, so I know its a slippery slope, but here I am looking after little orphan Josiah (4weeks old ). His mother was a prostitute and said she couldn’t afford him so he has been taken in by some friends round the corner and is being looked after by some helpers in a nearby house along with 3 other children. The idea is that they are brought up with in a Christian enviroment with good educational opportunities to make a difference in Thailand when they are older. They are not going to be adopted. Its an interesting idea and the couple running it are wondeful people but I can’t help thinking that what would be best for these children is a proper family and parents who love them and the security and joy it brings, than a relatively institutionalised upbringing even if it is caring and safe compared to the future they would have had if they hadnt been rescued . Anyway,the people who oversee the project were ill today and the helpers were worn out from several sleepless nights so I volunteered to look after this little one for the afternoon. Pray for him, wont you?
