We received a call from the Probation Officer stating that there was a small baby girl abandoned in the children’s hospital. What we found was a three week old premmie. She was very small and sickly looking. Because of being so small and malnourished, when she slept her eyes would not close. She would sleep with her eyes open. She was so small that a few of the workers were afraid to hold her for fear that they would break her. The hospital staff told us that they were not sure she would make it. We took her home and name her Moriah, which means chosen by God. It was a blessing in disguise that Joelle was being weaned. Moriah picked up where Joelle left off. Moriah was breast fed for 4 months and we saw a tremendous difference.

Moriah is definitely the bossiest of the “babies.” She likes to act as the mother, and you can often find her toting a baby doll on her hip as she shouts orders to the others. She is also very stubborn, and is a professional at giving you “the look” already. But she loves Mommy very much. If she could, she would be with Mommy all day, playing with her hair or just being close. Moriah is also an exceptional dancer for her age. Whenever she hears music, her hips start wiggling and her hands start clapping. Moriah is truly a special little girl and we love “Mo”. We thank God for her growth thus far and for her bubbly personality that is developing. Moriah is truly a delightful addition to our household and we will cherish every moment that we have with her. When you pray for us here in Jinja, please remember Moriah.
