[Warning: I am an emotional head case these days so I apologize in advance for the sappiness of the following entry. You have been warned...]
Is Myfanwy out there? Has she been born yet? Are her parents alive? Are her parents sick? Is she with her mother right now? Did her mother die at childbirth. Did her mother die while her children watched? Is she crying for her mother right now? Is her mother making the decision to relinquish her? Is her father making the decision? Is she being cared for by extended family? Is her extended family making the decision? Is her grandmother too old to care for her? Does she have brothers and sisters? Is she in an orphanage? Is she hungry? Is she scared? Is she sad? Is she cold? Does she have proper shelter and clothing? Does she sleep well at night?
Come to me, little girl, and I will keep you safe and warm. I will rock you to sleep as I tell you how much you were loved by your Ethiopian family and your caregivers. I will assure you that I will never leave you and will always love you. Already now. And for always.
