Additional 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.
