1 Month Old

My little charge is a month old! Look how she's grown... 

She came to us here at less than 24 hours old:

1 Week

2 Weeks

3 Weeks 

1 Month! And smiling :) 

It has been such a privilege to get to take care of this sweet girl. She came to us after her birth mother had arranged to give her up before her birth. (Her birth mother, age 15, was raped by her uncle.) To my knowledge, the birth mother hadn't wanted to see the baby, but since that time, family members have gone to social services to reclaim the baby. We are waiting on the paperwork to go through, and I'd ask for your prayers for her safety and future.

Just some cute pictures over the past month:

Ready for bed!

love this girl.
