I have not yet written about baby Moses, but if you have seen me this year, you have likely heard about him. Our family still thinks about and talksabout Baby Moses often. One year ago today, babyMoses was born via emergency C-section at Tenwek Hospital. A visiting doctor delivered this healthy,beautiful baby boy. Moses went to the nursery where all the newborn babiesstay. Moses’s mother came to feed her baby every 3 hours for three days. And then she disappeared.
Moses remained in the nursery for several days while an unsuccessfulsearch was conducted for the young woman who surely faced a world of hurting. I can hardly imagine the brokenness thatcould lead her to leave her new baby at the hospital.
At one week of age, Moses came to live with us for a while. He completely wiggled himself into ourhearts.
We loved loving Moses, along with our friend Carly (picturedat right at Moses’s one- month- old birthday party). At 6 weeks old, Moses entered an orphanage. It seems like a relatively well-run orphanage, butno orphanage can match God’s design for children to be raised in families.
Please pray today for Moses and for all the children in theworld who are in need of families to love them.
