A miracle happened for Martin when he turned 4. Instead of being transferred to the mental institution on his 4th birthday, as sometimes happens when a baby house is short on room and resources, Martin’s transfer was delayed for several months. Then, when the transfer finally came, Martin was not sent to the institution. He was sent to an orphanage for older children!
How did this happen? We don’t know. Many people were praying for Martin. His pictures reveal an active and engaged child. Perhaps he was what is sometimes called an “orphanage favorite”. Certainly, there must be something special about this little boy that caused his baby house to fight for him to go to the older child orphanage. There must be something that caused that orphanage to accept him. Maybe it was just the Holy Spirit.
However it happened, Martin’s future remains open. He is living with typical children and, one hopes, getting some sort of schooling. Finding a family to love, cherish and parent him is still a possibility! Could you be that family? Please help to spread the word about Martin. I know his family is out there, they just don’t know it yet.
