Zoey was discovered en route to Old Letant, by one of our missionaries, and some of our older girls. Apparently, when Zoey’s mother heard the truck coming, she slid out and laid Zoey on the road! The girls brought her back to Love A Child. We immediately took her to the Social Services Department. (In Haiti, you cannot take in and keep an abandoned child without going through Social Services.) They told us to “keep her.” They didn’t have any more room for abandoned children. We really were trying “not” to take in any more children, because raising 85 kids and sending them on to higher education is very expensive.

We brought Zoey home and she was the fussiest baby ever! She cried all the time! Nothing could make her happy! Finally, when she reached two, she became a little sweetie!! She was around the older girls more than anyone else, but we came to find that “she loved men!” When there was a man around, i.e., Bryon, who works with us and especially Bobby, she would find them and curl up in their lap! At church, she was always hunting “Poppie Bobby” to hold her! (And she is heavy!)

Zoey has tried to join the Praise Dance Team! We got her a little dance outfit, and she has the “rhythm,” but not the steps! Ha! When she began “chewing and sucking on her fingers,” the room mothers put socks on her hands! (I think she actually liked that!) Zoey is so cute, sweet, and lovable!!! She is “all girl!” She will go to “Pre-School” in the Fall! (We will be praying for her teacher! Ha!) Everyone loves, Zoey!
