A Newborn At My Doorstep

--by senga988, posted Dec 13, 2007

Nearly 6 years ago, a little boy was brought to me to look after in my day care. He was a mere two days old. After being with me for some 3 months, we realized that the "Mother" has disappeared, leaving this helpless little boy.

I could not get it over my heart to leave this child to his own defenses and decided to adopt him. We come from different backgrounds and cultures, but I was will to endure everything in order to love this child unconditionally.

I adopted him and am proud to say that he is today a real blessing in my life!

bobbi wrote: My mother said, "if you take a child into your home, you will be blessed greatly". I am so proud of you to take a child into your home. with the practicing of infantacide in our country today, it is comforting to hear that someone left their child for someone else to love. !!!!!! God bless you always.
