Simon has spent the first 8 years of his life in an orphanage. I think it is important for people to know what this place was like and what Simon has been through. Here are a few links to blogs that I have found to be the most informative on the conditions in the Baby House in Pleven.
This is an overview of the conditions discovered when Susana Musser went to meet her daughter Katie for the first time. Click Here. (this blog was turned private, unfortunately, I guess I should have pasted the post...sad)
This is a link to Susana Musser's blog where she details the media's report on the conditions found in the orphanage. Where they call it a Holocaust.
While all of this information can be a bit much to take in I would like to remind you that God has done something here. He has brought His light into this darkness. He has exposed the atrocity and He is REDEEMING it for his glory. Here is the update on what positive steps have been made at the orphanage as of Oct. 2012.
I don't want to grow tired of telling people the truth. I hope that more people will adopt kids from this place. I also hope that God will continue to provide for the children left behind. I pray that the orphanage would continue to get better and that we will NEVER forget. May God continue to redeem this place for His name and His glory. And may he HEAL our children.
