No honey I am not wonderful but addiction is a hard road to hoe and we have seen some of them truly come clean. Then it is all worth it. Be blessed. Yes they are broken, but they can heal.

Our birds with a broken wing, needing to be nutured while they heal, then let fly again, and hope the wing is strong enough to enable them to soar. Even for those who don't make it, Justi, I am sure they will still remember how you were there to help them get through the healing process, and for a moment will feel your warmth. Just that feeling will help them take one more step. You are wonderful!

It's sad to see the things that some people go through in life. Reading stories like this reminds me how fortunate I am.

sounds like she had low self esteem and searched to find her daddy in all those men. I know that feeling but it wasnt the daddy I sought but the husband I wanted back

An encouraging story Justi it it terrible really children growing up and no family life. You and your hubby do a real service to these poor people. My Mum used to say her mother didn't have time to make a fuss of eight children after her father was killed and she always regretted that she couldn't somehow show her own children as much as she would have liked although she did the best she could.

Sweetie I don't think you have to be reminded. I think you are uplifting to all whom you meet. Right here on Blogit I see so many you give such wonderfully uplifting words too. I think you are an awesome and courageous woman. Be blessed.

Just a wonderful uplifting post. Everytime I read of the hardships and hear
of the heartache people have to endure, I know that I was born very blessed...a wonderful home life that I had no idea how lucky I was to be born into. Loved and cared for properly, strictly brought up but only for my own protection and safety. Thank you God, thank you Mum and Dad, and thank you Justi darling for reminding me here.

Re:Bel
Honey there are lots of people who work with them. Don't be so hard on parents, they came into this scene broken and loony at times from their own upbringing. Also you have to understand all are not as smart as you nor as willing to turn away anything coming to them for the kid. We need to teach all we can to be able to come out of their own brokenness. I can see you are doing that. You have such a sweet and big heart. God bless you!

I agree, I think often the trouble with many of these women is a father issue...but watching my own daughter and the damage that her biological mother has caused in her life; I am horrified.
I discovered something about Pam during this visit that devastated me to the core. Parents need to understand or even more importantly give a rats behind about the damage and the harm they bring to their children.
We need to love those babies with all we have and as they grow, then we need to love them even more.
God bless you and George both for doing this wonderful work. I know he has blessed those women simply by bringing you to them.
