An Abandoned Baby

josephMy name is David Moses. My parents did not give me this name or any other.  The nice people at the House of Moses facility did. All I know is that I was born on 5th July, 2010 as a premature baby. I must have been premature because my birth weight was only 2.65 pounds. My mother could not deliver me the normal way so they cut her open and lifted me out. According to hospital records, my mother had to stay in the hospital for an additional four weeks before she recovered from the caesarian section which she underwent.  Upon recovering, however, my mother left the hospital before she was formally discharged, leaving me behind at the University Teaching Hospital. The hospital authorities then informed the Social Welfare people who took me to House of Moses. That is how come my last name is Moses and now I am an abandoned child.

I was admitted to House of Moses on the 5th of August, 2010 exactly one month after I was born.  My left arm is deformed but no one seems to know what brought that on and the medical records make no mention of it.  I am doing okay here and the people are very nice.  They hold me close when I cry and they feed me well, but I miss my mother.  I had gotten used to her feel, her face and her smell. I still can’t believe that she has left me to face life on my own; I am only one month old. However, the nice nurses here sing over me and tell me that God will heal my heart and that makes me feel better. So I feel safe being here at House of Moses.  They also pray that God will bring a family that will take me home and love me.

Love,  David
