Dear someone. I do not have a name, therefore I am unable to
tell you who I am. I was born a few months ago, have all my
fingers, toes, two blue eyes, blond hair, and just every organ
and part a human needs to survive. My mother did not want me, so
she took me to a childrens home and left me there, with
strangers. The first person I met at the home is the matron. She
is a very nice lady and she likes me very much. I know that
because she calls me her little angel and she says she cannot
understand a parent can abandon a pretty little thing like me.
She also says that if was hers, she could have worked her
fingers to the bone to make sure I had everything I need. I am
not complaining. The ladies who work here try their best to take
care of us. They have quite a few babies to see to, and I often
have to wait till one of them can come and change or feed me.
People come in here all the time to play with us. Sometimes
they bring old clothes for us to wear or toys to play with.
Don't you think I am a lucky little fellow? I have been
wondering, though, what is going to happen to me when I grow
older? Do you think someone will like me enough to make them
part of their family? I haven't told anyone yet, but you know
what? I would love to have a mum and a dad. I know there are
people out there who would love to have a child, but due to some
health problems, they are unable to. If you are one of those
people, you need to be informed that there are many children in
children's homes all over the world who would love to have you
for a parent.
If I am lucky enough to be adopted, just imagine how much fun
I will have. In the morning, when I wake up, I will scream at
the top of my voice to get the attention of my mum or dad. My
mummy will come into my bedroom, pick me up from my bed, and she
will get a very nasty smell. She will say "Phew! Did mummy's
little angel make a booboo?" She will change my nappy, take me
to her bedroom, put me down on my daddy's chest and he will play
with me and tell me his secrets until breakfast is ready. Mummy
will then call us and we will join her at the and the three of
us will have breakfast together. Daddy will go to work and my
mum and me will go shopping, take care of the household, work in
the garden, prepare supper, and do fun things. One day, when I
am big enough, my daddy and I will go to Newlands to watch the
cricket, watch rugby on T.V., go fishing, and do what men are
supposed to do.
All I want is a mum and dad who will love and take good care
of me, and a home where I can feel safe and secure. I know some
grown-ups are scared to raise other people's children, but it
won't be so bad. All you have to do, is to use the wisdom God
gave you, the knowledge you acquired, and your experience to
teach me to become a loyal, hardworking person like you. Then
you shower me with all the love in your heart and show me how to
be as compassionate, giving and caring like you. Have faith in
yourself and trust in God to help you to make the right choices.
We could be a praying, loving, happy family who will be there
for one another, no matter what.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
I could be yours faithfully.
Child with no name.
Butterfly.
