Saying Goodbye To Great Kids

Hey friends,

We are over four years into this children's home experience and I am not sure anything is more difficult then saying good bye.... We have had to say good bye to short term teams, short term workers, Filipino friends who have worked with the kids as well as great volunteers that have come to give of their lives. Another aspect of "good-byes" has come from children transitioning on to other children's homes or adoptive homes. This month we will say good bye to six children who have been with us for three or four years... The sibling groups of Diane and Jeric (4 years in our home) as well as Rodolf, Regie, Camille, and Rudylyn (over 3 years in our home) will transition back to join their own families. Diane and Jeric will join extended family while Regie, Rudylyn, Camille, and Rodolf will return to their immediate family... Both goodbyes are hard on us in Manila but we couldn't be happier for the kids. I am sure we'll still see some of Diane and Jeric during the summer or Christmas breaks when they return for a visit....Thanks for praying for these kids.


Jeff
