Rodolfo stood at a crossroads.
His father had gone to the United States years earlier to find work—a sacrifice made in love. Now, Rodolfo felt the same pull. He wanted to provide more for his wife Nancy and their future children. He believed going north might be the only way. His heart ached with the weight of the choice: go… or stay?
Then came a phone call that changed everything.
Rodolfo and Nancy had recently completed Family Life Missions’ foster care training—part of a new initiative to provide safe, loving homes for vulnerable children in Honduras. A little boy named Diego needed a family. He had no one. Could they take him?
Rodolfo was torn. If he stayed, his plans for the U.S. would vanish. But how could he turn away from a child in need? He sought his father’s counsel—and was surprised to hear his encouragement: “Stay with your family. Give this child a home.”
And so, Rodolfo chose love over leaving.
Five years later, Rodolfo and Nancy are in the process of adopting Diego. Alongside their bright-eyed daughter Libney, they have become a beautiful, bonded family. Diego, now five years old, is always smiling. He has severe autism and needs constant care. But in this home, he is safe. He is seen. And most of all, he is deeply loved.
Three-year-old Libney often keeps an eye on her big brother, and her parents care for him with grace and patience born from faith. “The best experience for us in receiving Diego,” Rodolfo says, “is that we have opened our hands to God.”
