Today, Luis Alfonso celebrates his first birthday. No one knows who is his mother, much less his father. Yet he is certainly the one of the luckiest kids alive today...

When he was abandoned, a nurse called my son, who works at our large teaching hospital and told him about this little boy. Fonso had always told the nurses to call him if there appeared a small boy that was abandoned....so they knew...

A day or so later, my son was commenting on this case with one of his patients. She turned out to be the Child Welfare Judge in the local courts. She applauded his ideas....

The baby was given to my son and his wife, papers filed, bureaucracy vanquished, ( and believe me this went all the way to the wife of Hippo!) and final papers in the works., This baby, who was abandoned by his mother at birth , is healthy, and growing up in a wonderful family. His big sister loves him to pieces and, as can be seen in just a couple of fotos in the Media Gallery, He looks happy too.

Proud grandpa is very happy for him too.....

And proud of my boys..

HB what a lucky man you are

It must be wonderful to see your family growing and to see what responsible adults your children become. I am looking forward to having my three girls all grown up and responsible. Ten more years to go for the little one to reach adulthood. Congrats you have a beautiful family, good bless them all.

HillBilly....Let me extend my sincerest thanks for having a son that cares so much. I can't think of a better expression of love and faith than giving life to an abandoned child.

HB, what you have is wealth, the pictures do tell, and it's not money. A fine investment. Good show. Regards, PJT

HB, that is a great story and send my Happy Birthday to him!

What is it with moms abandoning kids in the DR? I know so many boys at the orphanage whose moms abandoned them and left them with their Dads, who can then not handle working and taking care of so many kids. Seems strange, though, doesn't it? Another cultural mystery.

Thanks to your son for adopting him, too. Good to hear positive posts! :cool:
 
Congrats to your offspring

Like Father like son.
He definitely has the characteristics of his old man, the Hillbilly and I am sure he will install the same values in young Luis, as you have done with your own son.
To be like his dad and grandad would be a blessing.

HB...

Congratulations!
Feliz Cumplea?os Luis Alfonso!!! :bunny:
And what a beautiful name!!!
HB, my sister would love to adopt, but it's very difficult here in the U.S. They make it almost impossible, when there are so many children that need to be placed with good families.
Can you give me any kind of information on adopting in DR?
I would appreciate it very much!
And my sister would love me forever!!!
Thanks!

MQ, it is like sucking peanut butter thru a straw!

The DR has too many requests for children.

My son's situation was unique and not without hundreds of obstructions! That is why it went all the way to the President's office to smooth the way.

I have seen, and reported here, how some people get really lucky, but with the surveilance now in place at most hospitals, the possibility of another Mary Jo Fernandez or another case that i know of, is remote...Sorry for your sister....The Official waiting list is three years...

the good thing is that the kids are finding loving and kind homes...
