I had to report back that our first visit to the Boys Ranch went well. I took the girls with me (told them they should be trying to look ugly, but it's impossible for them). We met the on duty staff at his cottage, saw his room, and had a chance to go to the conference room to play cards (it was very windy outside). We then had our own private table at the dining hall. We got to see how things are done and later made plans for tomorrow.
Turns out John has up to 15 guys at a time in his cottage. Of the kids there now, he has only seen 4 of 5 of them have a visit from anyone the entire three weeks John has been there. Tomorrow we're going back.
Am impressed with the staff there and it seems that it is a place John can learn in. The staff say he is trying to "find himself."
He seemed genuinely happy to see us and enjoyed his time with us.
One day at a time we're going to reclaim our boys who are not living wiith us, both of them.
One day at a time.
