Epilogue
AppendixAdditional Info
Miguel Crespo’s forehead tightened as he imagined his son’s fate. The tiny boy was sitting up in a dingy crib, crying for his mommy and daddy. Outside the room he could hear the sound of people talking, enjoying themselves, while his son sat heartbroken in his little wooded prison. Miguel felt as if a dagger had been plunged into his chest.
In every person’s life, there comes a time when they have to answer some life-altering questions, “Does God really care about me? How much attention does He really pay to what’s going on in my life? Does prayer really accomplish anything? Am I willing to suffer loss and still believe in and trust him?”
Five years previous, Miguel and Bonnie Crespo had never imagined themselves as foster parents. Then Nathaniel, a sickly infant with eczema and spinal problems, became part of their lives, and they wanted to be more; they wanted to adopt him permanently. This is My Boy! (Right God?) is the story of the Crespo family as they went through emotional hell-fighting custody battles, endless court appearances, selling prize possessions to pay for lawyer fees, and ultimately surrendering the fate of their new son to God. -

Lord Keep Your Mansions Just Save My Children

in the home of a conservative minister. Today you are a successful administrator, an author, a camp meeting speaker with high ideals-and your son is on drugs. His 15-year-old girlfriend is pregnant. He drops out of college. Your heart is breaking.
You did what good families are supposed to do. Daily family worship. Uncle Arthur and Bible Stories. Where did you go wrong?
Once your career was everything. A big house in the country was important. But now nothing else matters. “Lord, keep my mansion-just save my children,” you pray. Things don’t get better. For years you pray, wondering what good it does. Then it gets worse.
Divorce? My children? No!
In these pages Richard O’Ffill shares how he moved through guilt, frustration, anger, and grief to hope, forgiveness, trust, comfort, and love. Now, with permission (“Dad, after all I put you and Mom through, this is the least I can do”), he tells his story.
