On July 12, we bid farewell to our precious little
Franky Fernando. He came to us from a broken
family where both parents were alcoholics.
One day, the father and mother had both had too much to drink and they got
into a large dispute. The father ended
up in jail, the mother ended up in the hospital, and Franky ended up in our
loving arms, battered and bruised. When
the ambulance dropped Franky off at Open Doors Orphanage, we gained full
custody of this little guy…but his parents still had a chance to get their act
together. They proved to the judge that
they had indeed done this when they appeared at their court date last week.
However, this doesn’t mean that we are saying goodbye to
Franky forever as Open Doors will still maintain fully custody. A social worker with be making one surprise
and one scheduled visit to Franky’s home every month. At the first sign that his parents have
returned to their old habits, Franky will return to live with us forever.
Please lift up adorable Franky and his parents in your
prayers as they begin this new journey together as a family.
