There is something else that I want to bring to your attention, however. Would you pray for this little guy and his situation? This comes from the Love Without Boundaries blog site. They are an incredible organization that helps these children and thousands like him throughout China. I included part of his story below.
"Right now in a hospital in Anhui, there is a newborn baby boy who is in need of urgent medical care. This baby was abandoned with anal atresia, a life threatening condition that requires emergency surgery for the baby to survive. The orphanage called us immediately after the police brought the baby to them, and we moved him to the hospital right away. And then things got 'complicated.'
"We learned quickly that the police had identified who the birthmother was, and that they had plans to arrest her and put her in prison for infant abandonment. The hospital told us that a distant cousin had been found, and that someone would be coming to get the baby. But no one arrived, and the little boy remained alone.
"We then learned that the birthmom was not married, and that the father was a migrant worker who had long since disappeared. When the mom learned she would be arrested, she fled to another province, where she began hemorrhaging after her recent delivery. She is now in critical condition in a hospital in Jiangxi. Her family is refusing to help her for having a baby out of wedlock."
There's more to this story. You can read the rest of it here.
