Any and Yair...back again?

When we take new kids in here at CASA we always know that there is a chance that they could be returned to their parents or be taken from us for any given reason at any given time. Although it doesn't stop us from investing and loving on them. It does hurt places deep down in us to have to let them go.

Many of you have read about Any and Yair. They were only with us a few short weeks when we were informed we had to return them to their mom per judges order. She had gotten paper work done and showed whatever to the judge it was that she needed to show to get the kids back in her care. It was a total shock to us the day she showed up at the gate and showed me the papers stating we had to give her kids back.

Well this past Monday I got a phone call from a shelter for teenage girls. They wanted to know if we were willing to take back Any and Yair. I guess their mom had showed up and was living at this shelter but the rule is no kids at the shelter. We told them that they need to go back through the judges office or IHNFA (childrens services) and give us a letter stating they were to come back to CASA to live.

One of our staff memebers also saw them this week begging on the side of the street under the hot sun with their mom. Any recongnized the staff memeber and began to yell for her and the mother ran away with the children.

It is just so sad to think of what they are going through. I just wish their mom could look to her children's well being instead of her being selfish and wanting her kids and then not being able to take care of them.

Supposably paper work is in progress again to send Any and Yair back here to CASA. Please be praying for these two little kids and that their mom can see past her selfishness to look for the good of her own kids and put them back in the system to give them a better life.
