Elijah

Born: August 4, 2009 (estimated)
Arrived at HOH: October 22, 2009
Status: Abandoned

He was found as an abandoned baby in a park area by a woman who "exploited him." She carried him around with her, begging for "money to feed her baby." She was reported to the Childrens Department by people who knew the baby was not hers. When Eli was taken to the government childrens home, he was malnourished.

Eli is a pleasant little boy who has a beautiful smile. He likes to wake early and sit in the playroom while the girls are cleaning there.  He is a great eater who really loves his food When he is not hungry, he is a very happy boy! He has learned to sit and is trying to scoot and move around. He has just discovered his voice and loves to make noises. Of all of his aunties, he seems to have a special bond with Auntie Linet who can make him laugh and smile at any moment.
