This is a photo of Cecelia. She is 8 months old, and although she is small, she crawls around the nursery with determination and smiles. She loves bright toys and is always one of the first babies to lift her arms and beg to be picked up. No one can resist her, so Cecelia has lots of attention!

Cecelia came to House of Moses when she was only two weeks old. Her mother is mentally ill and is not able to take care of herself, much less of a child. Cecelia's grandmother takes care of her mother, but is very elderly and not able to care for the baby. Additionally, there are two other adults in the home that also suffer from mental illness and the family is extremely poor. The grandmother has been asked to release Cecelia for adoption, but has not yet agreed to sign the papers.

Please pray for the grandmother to agree to adoption and for the perfect family to adopt Cecelia. Pray also for protection from mental illness, as apparently this malady runs in the family.
