Clay in His Hands: Visitation

Today was visitation at Casitas Kennedy. I guess I should catch you all up. Last month at visitation Monica, Fernando, and Katty's family was there to visit with them. Well they have this sweet sister Doris who is always there to visit them also but is always just sort of shoved aside and never given any attention and not a word is every spoken from her mouth. Just a soft timid smile. I have tired several times to get her to talk to me at past visitations but she always get embarrassed. She turns her head or looks down and hardly ever makes eye contact. Never speaks a word and just seems like she has ever even been in contact with other people to even know how to interact with them. She has a head full of lice, filthy, ratty clothes, and stinks. So last month I brought her to the attention of the administration at Casitas Kennedy. So they came out and took her that very same day from her mom . The mom was at loss for words and only said no you don't know how to take care of her. She is a special child and so forth. Well they for certain did not have any room to speak because they had not taken care of the child themselves. For all I know maybe they took care of the child to the best of their ability with what they had and what they knew but that was not enough.
So Doris has now been at Casitas for a month now. So today when we were there the social workers came out and talked to me and wanting us to take Doris. I asked to see her files and that paper work we are required to take her in. They told us that if we did not take her that they would have to take Monica, Fernando, and Katty from us and place them in another center with their sister(and we sure do not want that). The paper work ended up not being done so we did not take her today but it looks within the next couple of weeks she will get to come here and be with her brother and sisters. So be praying if that is what God wants that all will work out.
While we were at visitation today only Cindy and Marjuir's mom came. They did allow Doris to come out while we were there and she got to play and interact with our kids. Monica tried to take good care of her. Those two are just two peas in a pod! It was good to see Doris making progress in the month that she has been there. She played , giggled, and ran around which is rare thing to see from her. In the month she has been at Casitas she has not spoken either they said. The girl is looks like she is 8 but say she is 12 and is at the mentality of maybe a 2 year old.

Please be praying for and what God wants with this situation. Here below are a few pics from today.
