[...] Casey made friends with a couple of the older boys, while I had a little girl following me around most of the afternoon. I probably spent the most time in the baby room. The little babies were so beautiful. It was evident that the nannies at Kebetsehay love the children very much and were working very hard to care for them, but they are still in great need. The babies lying in cribs will break your heart. There was one little baby who was crying when I walked by. I tried to comfort her and offered my finger for her to hold. She held on tightly and quieted a little, but every time I tried to walk away she would start crying again. It was so hard to finally pull away after standing by her crib for about thirty minutes. Sweet, sweet, girl. I pray that God is providing for her every need right now, and that she will have a family some day soon. [...]

These are nice looking boys. I know they appreciated your attention and love. It is so heart breaking that they are growing up without a family. Are they in a Christian orphanage where they are learning about God?
Love You,

Casey, I’m so thankful for the time you had with these boys. I know your attention meant a great deal to them. I sure hope you will be able to connect with them in the future. We love you!
