Deborah

5/29/2015

 
​When Deborah first came to us in July she was two weeks old and weighed just over 4.5 pounds. Her mother is an alcoholic and left her alone most of the time. It was reported that at times the mother would give Deborah alcohol to quiet down her cries.
​
When she first arrived at Mahali pa Maisha it was clear that she had some difficulties as she struggled to eat and was found to have a heart murmur. It has been a long hard road for her as she continues to struggle with taking nutrition and her weight gain is extremely slow. Despite her special high calorie diet, now, at the age of 11 months she weighs only 13 pounds. When her numbers are put on the “normal” growth chart she is at least 50% below where she should be.

She is showing signs of Fetal Alcohol Disorder which will cause a lifetime of challenges for her.

To further complicate her case, the court has her case tied up for now since the mother is known, however has disappeared, so while she has stated she is willing to give Deborah up for adoption, the court requires her signature to move ahead. So like so many others Deborah is stuck in the system for a season.
​
Please lift Deborah in prayer, both for her health and growth, and also that the legal hurdles can be quickly resolved so she can be adopted.
