I know a family who adopted two little boys with Down Syndrome. One came from this orphanage. This is not their blog, but a blog that they found of someone else's who wrote a post about it. There is a video on there that will break your heart of kids (age 10??) who are learning how to wash their hands for the very first time and you'd think it was Christmas. To think that kids are thrown away like this is just unbelievable to me. Many probably have minor disabilities, but living like they do in places like this, their disabilities become much worse and they develop other pathologies, like autism... This blog post is an eye-opener...

The World Next Door

Thank God there are people like this who minister directly to orphanages like these. And thank God Simon will never see the inside of one...
