More on Alex...

I blogged about Alex in August: http://rowells-in-rehoboth.blogspot.com/2008/08/alex.html The amazing news this week was that there is now a very real hope that Alex will be placed with the Rineers for them to foster (and possibly adopt). There are still some hurdles to overcome before this can happen so please pray that these would be overcome quickly. Alex has been with the Rineers this weekend but gets really upset when Mick or Suzanne leave. This afternoon Ruth and I will go with the Rineers to the funeral of Alex's father. Alex's father, a German, died about 10 weeks ago, but no one from his family wanted to have anything to do with his burial, so the Rineers have organised it themselves. Mick will take the funeral; we are praying that he will be helped as he didn't know Alex's father at all. We hope Alex's mum will be there and that she will still be convinced that Alex should be placed with the Rineers. Tonight Alex will have to go back to the children's home, this won't be easy for anyone.
