Remember little Baby Hope from around 5 weeks ago? This is what I wrote:
“Baby Hope was found outside her orphanage with some formula, 150 rmb and an IV indwelling still attached to her head. Obviously, my original theory was almost right on. The parentswere given the news at the hospital that their little girl was very sick and they made the gut-wrenching choice to abandon her in the hopes that someone would be able to help her.”
Three families [actually four] stepped up right away to sponsor her for foster care. But though we tried to do what was best for little Hope, she has died from heart failure.
What makes me the most sad is she never got to bask in the arms of a forever mom or grow up feeling like she ‘belonged’ to a family. I am thankful for those few weeks of foster care but am still sad for the tragic short life she lived. I am also sad for her parents who probably believe they have left her in the care of the government and that their daughter will get the medical help she needs. They won’t even know she is gone–but perhaps her mother will feel it in her heart.
To those of you who stepped up and sponsored her, thank you so very much for at least giving her a foster mom for a short while.
