Take them home

Oh my gosh, did I want to pull out my adoptive parent credentials and ask for takers!

For so many reasons, you want to bundle them up in your arms and take them to safety.  Forrest was doing a good job of bundling.

When you place your hands high - about forehead level - and bow, it is for God. So, the children would often pray to God with their hands together with thumbs at their foreheads.
