Dhave must be wondering right now whether he's just been adopted or whether he's died and gone to heaven. The form-ula for a happy Dhave is really pretty simple: constant attention.

And, well, he couldn't be with a better family.

Jon Ariel left the little children's home in April of 1994 when he was two-and-a-half years-old. We celebrated his 17th birthday with him yesterday (a day late).

But since then he has been joined by Hazel Elen...

...and then Shane (right)...

...and then by Job Michael--all from different homes (in fact, different islands) in the Philippines.

Jon Ariel is now making his fourth trip back to the Philippines to pick up yet another sibling, this time also from the little children's home.

Dag and Kari Anne are those beautiful, comfortable sort of parents who make it look all too easy and fun. When someone sits down with Dhave one day to explain to him from the Bible how much God loves him he's going to say, "I know."
