12:49 am
church in everywhere we went to the boy. they received lots of our attention i would be biological parents sometimes give less care to their kids than we did. but with the kids that we have now the situation is somewhat different. perhaps because we have grown older. at first glance it may seem that life for the children here is no different than in a good orphanage move what makes the difference is that they feel protected they don't want to leave this place and they don't ask me to pass them to another family this is the best sign that they feel protected. if they were different from an orphanage even know when i married my father calls me to ask how my kids and i are doing my children treat him as their grandfather and. in addition then bought us a house which is never the case that often injures one. he helps us just any normal
