MY KIDS

UPDATE >>>>How I got 10 children to care for ..in 2009

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 chose to go with him and he did not want to care for 5 extra children Juan age 16,Reyna age 15 Fransico age 14 Isabel age 13 and Ceclia age 9. She comes at least once a month to see them. The youngest was born here and knows no other home

Then the other mom is Adia. She and I have remained in contact after she was asked to leave several years ago and her children were with her all of 2007 to 2008 school year. They are two teens Itzel age 15 and Angel age 14 and a young boy Jesus who is 10. All of the children did not like living in the big city because of all it had to offer. They really were being called to make some hard difficult choices and really wanted to return to my home this last school year. They had some difficult times with their mom and had been thrown out of the house a few times. I was really between a rock and a hard place wondering if I should go to Ensenada to rescue them or what. I did end up going and doing crises intervention with the mom and teens and they finished the school year with their mom. .

After that I offered the mom the placement in my home as an alternative to another turbulous and abusive school year and she jumped at the chance to have her children with me. She is an immature woman and can not get over her feelings enough to discipline the children giving them tough love but boundaries to live within the home.

Then there are two other teens with me . These two are really smart kids but the moms are weak and want to please the children. They do not give boundaries to Omar age 15 ,and Anayeli age 14 for fear of being not liked for a while. |Both of these teens have had some difficult things in the home and both moms have a hard time saying no. So both asked me to help and I do not have a problem with the word no.

Another mom, Rosa, left her two boys age 15 Eloy and Alberto age 17 to go to another man. in 2003. They lived with me for 4 years they are no longer with me. But they live in a boys home near the Casa Del Pastor and are involved in Calvary Chapel San Vicente Horizonte, .They are doing well under the supervision of Mike and he is the director of Casa Josue.

SO………

I really am loving being a mom and HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THESE CHILDREN !!!

So keep me in prayer and lift us up to the LORD as we will need it as this is the crazy teen house.
