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..
