Jeremiah

Born: February 14, 2009 (estimated)
Arrived at HOH: August 14, 2009
Status: Abandoned

Jeremiah was 6 months old when we brought him home to Haven of Hope. He was our first little boy, named after Jeremiah 29:11, a promise that holds true for his life!!! He was completely abandoned by his mother and we have no information whatsoever. He was referred to Nairobi Children's Home, a government operated temporary placement shelter, in April. He was told to be 1 or 2 months old at the time. He was supposedly found and taken to the the Dagoretti Police Station, which is not far from our home, but we have no official record of that.

He was a tiny little guy when he came to us. He doesn't look so small in his "first picture," but he wore 3 mo clothes, even some 0-3's for the first two months he was with us. He started out as a super-serious little man but he is beginning to laugh and play and show his personality more. He still has a very serious, analytical side. He likes to look and study peoples' faces. But when he smiles, he can melt any heart! 

Jeremiah could not sit alone when he came to HOH at six months of age; he was small and malnourished. Since that time, he has learned to sit, crawl, stand, pull up and will be walking VERY soon! He has made great progress in his first six months at Haven of Hope and we are blessed to see him grow in the hope of a future that God has for him!
