What's a couple to do?

If you've been following the news from here for a while now, you may remember Alvaro Azevedo, former construction assistant at Habitat for Humanity. He and his wife, Conceição, care for seven foster children and pray for children of their own. Here they are with six of the seven:


L-R: Hugo, Esperança, Paulo, Bruno, Conceição,
Armanda, Alvaro and Gabriel, out in front of our
house, which may become their house soon.

Now there's a chance Alvaro and Ção may be able to adopt Armanda, who they have cared for the last two years. But if they do adopt her they must give up the other children, the state says. If they don't adopt her they may lose her and they don't want to risk that. They are asking God for a miracle. They want to adopt Armanda and continue to care for the other children as well. Would you kindly pray with them?
