On Friday Spendy's mom showed up at the orphanage, standing in the court yard, agitated, wanting to leave pretty much as soon as she got there. Jean Nathan, who was supposed to meet with her, was not there. So, Shanley, Cameron, and Don met with her. They met for around 40 minutes. It was hard for Cameron and Shanley...hard to see Lizette's self-focus. When asked what her hopes for Spendy were, she said that he would love her, remember her.
She hesitates to sign the paperwork for these reasons- fear of being forgotten, fear of not being loved. She came in that Friday unwilling to sign, yet by the ride home with the translator she said she would go sign the paperwork at the embassy next week. Hard to know what she will do from moment to moment. We are thanking God for her change of heart on Friday and praying that she will indeed do what she has said. We are also praying that the guys at Three Angels Children's Relief will be mindful of the situation and follow up on finding her and getting her in to sign. Please join us in holding these matters up in prayer. We still have hope that God may allow us the privilege of being Spendy's parents. It is good to daily remember that Spendy's fate is not in Lizette's hands; it is in God's, and we continually appeal to Him to have mercy on Spendy.
