How I got 10 children to care for ..

One mom Marilu was with us for 6 years and she turned out to be abusive to her own children physically and emotionally. How ever, she also became very obsessed with her boyfriend and choose to go with him and he did not want to care for 5 extra children She comes at least once a month to see them. The youngest was born here and knows no other home…
The another mom, Rosa, left her two boys age 13 and 14 to go to another man . They were here at the CASA for three years and we do not allow boyfriends. The mom decided that going to be with this man was more important than her boys so she abandoned them with us. After two weeks we put the word out that if the mom did not make contact with us we had to call the officials. Finally after a week she shows up and took her boys, without talking to us and took them to a lady in town to leave them with this lady so that they could remain in school for the remainder of the school year 2004 – 2005. After a few weeks we would see them out on the street and asked them what they were doing .. As it turned out the lady would get them up and lock them out with their uniform on and ready for school at 6 am in the morning so they had no where to go until school and no food to eat until 5pm that night ( school is from 1 to 5 every day) . So I invited them to eat with us and to ask their mom to come to talk to me again . She did not visit them for three weeks also she had no idea the lady was doing this but she was not very concerned because she was too involved with the guy. They asked if I would except them so they could go to school and to live with me . I agreed with the mom’s permission.
Then the third mom is Adia. She is a mom who is thick sculled and very proud and was breaking the rules with a man and we asked her to leave too but that was two years ago. We have remained in contact. Her children have come to visit and to see us for several vacations. She has hit hard times and due to her choices of singing in night clubs and no stable jobs she got kicked out of her home and was living in friends’ homes and then got sick and could not work and now has no home and no job. Her children were not in school because she could not afford the bus or supplies. She asked if I could keep them until she got a job and a home to keep them again. I agreed that she had to come to visit and that she had get a report to me of what she is doing! So pray for that one because she is very evasive and stubborn and prideful ( deceitful is a better word  )
