During Cass’ MRI scan at HKL on 30 December 2014, we met a very adorable baby boy of about 8 months old. He was placed in a crib next to Cass’ bed in the pediatric ward.
When I first saw him, I noticed how adorable he was. He was draped in a pink hospital gown. I thought he was a she until I saw a nurse changing his diaper. I asked the nurse if he was going in for a surgery but the nurse shook her head and replied “mak tinggalkan dia” (his mother left him) I was horrified and speechless! I chatted with the nurse and found out that the baby boy was abandoned by his mother at the hospital cafe.
At the time I saw this baby boy, he was crying non-stop. No one was free to attend to him yet. Finally a nurse came and gave him a bottle of milk. He grabbed the bottle tightly with both his tiny hands and sucked the milk hungrily while closing his eyes. He reminded me of my girls when they were hungry and sleepy when they were babies. He even looked like one of my babies when he was sucking the milk bottle with his eyes closed. Awwwww, the baby really tugged at my heartstrings and knowing that he is now an orphan, makes me want to take him home with me. The nurse told me that many parents from the pediatric ward wanted to adopt this baby but the hospital is now awaiting the Welfare officers to bring him away 🙁
While many childless couples out there are desperate for a baby of their own (I was once one of them), I just cannot fathom how some people can abandon their own flesh and blood. As for this 8-month old baby boy, his parents must be cold blooded and ruthless. After having him with them for 8 months, how can they have the heart to dump him? I have just met him for a short 1 hour and have already fallen in love with him. May God bless this little soul and may he be adopted by a kind couple who will love him unconditionally.
