The first thing to do was get him tested for HIV and sickle cell. Then an ad was put in the newspaper asking anyone with information concerning his relatives to contact the baby house. Little AJ was abandoned in someone's yard, so we know nothing about his biological family. But we do know that his mother wanted LIFE for him, or she would have done what many mothers do here: throw him in a pit latrine or river. Praise God that she chose life for him!
The two-week deadline for responding to the newspaper ad has come and gone, which means we can bring him home soon!!! On Monday, November 30th we throw a "Thank You" party for the 50 people who took care of AJ for the past 3 months, and then we BRING HIM HOME.
We've only spent a handful of 3-hour visits with him, but we are in love.
Quick stats: weight--12.8 lbs (roughly); height--don't know; birthdate--June 30th (a guestimate on our part)
