DANIEL ESCALERA

JAN. 12TH, 1991  [Inicio]

DANIEL’S PARENTS HAVE BEEN IN PRISON FOR A LONG TIME. HIS MOTHER, WHILE PREGNANT WITH DANIEL, TRIED TO TAKE DRUGS TO THE FATHER IN PRISON. SHE WAS IMPRISONED ALSO AND DANIEL WAS BORN THERE. HIS PARENTS ARE BOTH STILL IN PRISON, ALTHOUGH HIS MOTHER WAS FREE FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT IS IN AGAIN FOR REPEATING THE SAME OFFENCE.

DANIEL HAS FIVE SIBLINGS WHO ARE WITH US HERE AT THE ORPHANAGE. DANIEL DIDNīT WANT TO BE SEPARATED FROM HIS MOTHER. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT WISE FOR CHILDREN TO REMAIN IN PRISON WITH THEIR PARENTS BECAUSE THEY COULD BE EXPOSED TO MANY THINGS THAT HINDER THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD.

HE MISSED HIS MOTHER A LOT, BUT WITHIN A FEW DAYS, HE ADAPTED WELL TO HIS NEW FAMILY OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS AT THE ORPHANAGE. AS WITH ALL THE CHILDREN, WE ARE TEACHING DANIEL THE LOVE OF GOD AND HIS PROTECTING HAND OVER THEM.
