This little cutie is “Julia’s baby boy.” As most of you know, Julia was one of our older Love A Child kids. We raised her and her siblings. She had been with us since we started our orphanage with 8 children… (two families of four children each).

We sent Julia to college in Haiti so that she could work in a lab. When we built our Birthing Center, that is where her heart was… She was head of the lab at our Birthing Center here in Fond Parisien, Haiti.

When Julia passed away during childbirth, about a week ago, it affected so many lives. There are hundreds of Haitian workers on our property and they all knew and loved Julia. She was not only “the best,” but she was always a devout Christian, kind and gentle. She knew she would have complications in getting pregnant, but she wanted this baby so badly. When she went to a special hospital near Croix des Bouquet, they took the baby by C-section but she died.

The funeral will be here at Love A Child Friday but her husband and others will be coming from Port-au-Prince and other areas on Wednesday through Friday. Florence, her sister, whom we sent to college in Italy to study radiology, will be flying in for the funeral. She will be the one who will name this adorable little boy! We have many children here and “one more Angel in Heaven.”
