This precious baby girl was abandoned at the hospital after her mother left the room and never returned. It is always hard to know what makes a mother do something like this but we have found we have no time to judge. We know that in a land where women have few rights that desperation and poverty can lead them to do extreme things. We will love and care for this baby and find her a good home.


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
