Brittany One Day Old


Brittany was born  at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore MD  on August 26th 1994. How ever we were not Blessed to have met her on that wonderful day. For the women that gave birth to Brittany walked out of the hospital and left her behind... And that is where it all started,  for us her real Mommy and Daddy!!! Brittany was transfered to Mount Washington Hospital in Baltimore MD where all children and babies go with medical problems or have been left behind. In Brittanys case it was both. Brittany was born with Congenital Neuphroutic Syndrome: A disease that is caused by some one having syphillis and not being treated for it and is passed on to the baby at time of birth. It affected Brittany's kidneys. This is where we met our ANGEL...... Brittany had no one. And we were Foster Parents, the same foster parents who had the wonderful privilege of  already adopting her two older sisters! Julena and Lisa. We did not meet Brittany untill December 4 months after she was born. We walked into her room in the hospital and saw this little tiny four pound baby all rolled up in a pink blanket!! She was just laying there no one holding her, no one doing any thing with her. I picked her up and I felt so special! I fell in Love with her at that minute I felt as if I just gave birth to her!!! I handed her to my husband and all he could say was Ah, Ah, Ah, he just became a Daddy again ! We knew that we would be takeing her home right then and there ! Medical problems or not she was going to be ours!!
