Today we met the woman who first loved Kagiso.
Her name is Wendy Harris and 3 years ago she got a call from social services asking if he would take a "tiny baby." She said yes and reported to us that she had never seen a baby so small. At one month Kahee weighed one kilo (2.2 lbs). She fed him every two hours around the clock and poured love onto his little body.
At 18 months he needed to be transferred to a home that would be able to prepare him for adoption. She said that was one of the hardest drives of her life--when she dropped him off at Oasis Haven.
She hosted us for tea at her lovely home and shared stories with us about his early days, and we told her about our life and what Kahee has to look forward to. Her mother ("granny") and oldest son David joined us. The kids loved playing in her fabulous back yard.
I tried to express my appreciation for what she did for our son...but where to start? Where to end? I promised her that Kahee will always know how loved he was from such a young age. She will always hold a special place in our hearts and in his life story.
