Photo linked from Adoption Networking Update. Though the baby is yet to be born in April, the mother has already chosen the parents who will take care of her baby. Thank you to all who expressed their interest to adopt the baby. My family is currently sheltering a pregnant woman. She used to serve as "kasambahay" (household helper) in Novaliches. When her employer learned about her pregnancy, she was fired and sent away. Nowhere to stay, a former household helper in our family then asked for my sister's help to accommodate her.

He didn't name it "egg". The Divine Evidence "So, out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

Despite a very strict law, Singaporeans are happy about their lives. Philippines can never build a city like this due to corruption in the government, selfish politicians from the barangay level up to Malacanan, who would rather spend more time how to be wealthier using 30 silver blood money of Judas. Poor Filipinos. These politicians and government officials do not have conscience. Ehem! Ehem! Maybe Filipinos, and foreigners as well, should wear t-shirts with a message like "Your face shows you're corrupt" each time they visit a government office. My portal to just about anything
