This sweet little guy was abandoned in the hospital two days after he was born. He is now four weeks old and a beautiful, healthy little boy. He comes to us from a government children's home in Nairobi where he wa taken after being abandoned in Kitenfela. (You may recall that our little Joseph was also from Kitengela.) This little boy is truly meant to be in our home! Had we not moved to Nakuru, he would have been placed directly into our home four weeks ago. He was the first newborn that had been taken to our previous Disctrict Children's Officer since our little Loseph. Isn't it cool when God works things together that way?
So what is his name????
As has been our custom for the past few babies, it is a group decision by the staff to decide what to call the baby. I told them his name, and they decided what he would be called.
His name is...Emmanuel William.
Emmanuel (meaning "God with us") was the name given to him at the children's home where he was before coming to Haven of Hope.
William (meaning "protector") is the name of MY BRAND NEW NEWPHEW who was born on teh same day we got our new baby. Yes, my brother, Kenan and his wife Karat (or Karen to the rest of the world), are the proud new parents of baby William Robert Ivy! You can bet I will be posting pictures as soon as I (uh-hm!!) see some!
He has great head control and is very alert.
In a 5-2 vote (which I was not part of), the staff voted to call this precious little boy William. So....meet William, our newest addition to Haven of Hope!
William is a bright-eyed, alert little guy who is very quiet and observant.
Elijah is totally enamoured with him!
