Welcome Annabelle!

we are very excited to welcome precious 1 day old baby Annabelle to our haven of hope family!

God saved this beautiful baby out of the pit. we got a call this afternoon from the local police station: a woman found Annabelle in a plastic bag in a pit latrine and dug her out, kept her for the night and then brought her to the police station this morning.

the woman who saved her life is named Ann...Trena and I thought that was one of the final choices of names, when we went to the home, without telling the girls our thoughts, Maggie emphatically said "her name should be Annabelle!" and it indeed fits her well!

She is now clean, dry, and happily sleeping next to me (as hopefully she will continue to do!) she eats very well about an ounce at a time. after going to the hospital for a check-up she is very healthy, just swollen eyes and an infected umbilical cord (which when we got her was tied with yarn. now is clean and clamped) from being in the latrine. with antibiotics should be cleared within the week.

we are blessed to have this little girl and already know God has great plans for her!

off to sleep while she is sleeping!
