April 20th -
Today we met another sibling group. We first meet the younger child (age 4) at the baby house. He's a beautiful, shy little boy. We only meet him for a few minutes, but he has definitely caught our eye. Now off to visit his brother. He is age 8, and is located at the children's village in Petro. The children's village is a small compound of ~6 houses. Each house has about 6 children (ranging in ages from 7-18), and a 'house mom'. It's a great living arrangement, and apparently is reserved for those children who display academic aptitude.
We get to the village, but the older brother is away on a walk. We see a picture of him, but will have to come back the next day to meet him. While we were drawn to the younger brother, we both are still struggling with the concept of adopting a school-aged child. We just don't think we are ready for that. Another rough night....
