Visiting their first Home

Melody now Faith

Melody and the mother

Adam and the Mother

Adam now Dennis


Blessing now known as Grace

In the process of adoption, the child being adopted has to be brought back to the home once a month for 3 months before they start the court process. This period of 3 months is what the Kenyan law calls the fostering period. Every time the children come to Happy Life, our duty is to check on how well they are bonding with their new families as well as their health. If we are not satisfied with the bonding, we extend the bonding or the fostering period until we are sure that the child has bonded quite well. Last week on Friday, we had three children coming for their visits and we were very impressed. Melody and Blessings looked great. The one time tiny Melody is walking and very fluent in her speech. Blessing who was born pre-mature and took a long time to thrive looks very good. Adam has bonded with his mother and they resemble each other like a real biological child. Melody will be two years in August while Blessing is now one year and 2 months. Adam will be one year in August. What a blessing! We get very encouraged when we see the babies we have at times struggled and raised up being in loving families. This is our mission, it gives us great joy.
