There I was at the office, out having a smoke break, and a couple of neighbourhood kids & their mom came by to visit the boss's dog. Mom was carrying a new addition to the family - a seven week old adopted boy. She adopted him when he was 3 days old, and he's amazing.
He was also born completely deaf, with mild brain & nerve damage and addicted to crack cocaine. He's still withdrawing, and is monitored closely by a physician and team of professionals. He allowed me to pick him up and hold him, then looked me dead in the eye, smiled, nuzzled against my chest and fell asleep. I'm not a religious guy, but this was an angel straight out of heaven. I friggin' cried today. Call me a wussy if you will.
Except for his hearing, this kid has a good chance of full recovery. He has the medical help he needs, foster parents who love him fiercely and would die for him, and a good shot at a normal life. I have no idea about his mother - maybe she tried but the addiction was too strong, maybe she hasn't thought about him since. I hope it's the former. I still have baby-drool marks on my shirt from him, and I swear I can still feel him breathing against my chest. Some day, somehow, I'm going to help this guy. I'll figure something out.
I wish we could bait crack dealers sometimes. |

My employer adopted a crack baby some 11 years ago.He was born way premature-I forget the figure right now,but he was a little shorter than a pencil when he was born.I'm pleased to say he is reasonably healthy and normal today.He is quite small for his age,and has attention defecit disorder,but in all other respects is doing great.
I wish we could bait scum like that sometimes too,but I don't think I'll call you a wussy.I'll wager most of the members of this forum,myself included would pretty much do the same thing |

You're not a wussy Obi, you have a heart, and that heart is very gentle for kids.
If only these crack addicted moms realized and cared what their addiction does to their unborn children, I think there would be a lot less of it. |

Nice one Obi, I sympathise with the mother, my youngest son was born deaf, both cochlea look like starfish instead of spiral shells.
I hope he recovers from the brain damage, I could go on about the frustrations she's going to come across as he grows, but in hindsight, (wonderful thing that) I think you get that with kids without handicaps as well.
My son managed to get through life,school, he had a choclea implant when he was 20, he's working in a bank here now, assistant manager, so please let your friend know there isn't anything to hinder his progress, apart from other people.
And I wouldn't mind being as wussy as you |

Obi, thank you for sharing this story. If you are a wussy, proudly wear that silly label. I shed a tear after reading the story and I am honored to be a wussy like you. My heart goes out to the baby and his new family. There will be challenges along the way, but my heart tells me they will overcome every one. The human spirit and capacity for love is amazing. It is easy to become cynical with what seems like a continuous stream of bad news and events we encounter and hear about every day. It is stories like this one that renews my faith in humankind. Thanks for making me cry. You are not alone. |

Small children are very perceptive and just know things, and this little tacker knew he was safe in your arms Obi. Take that as a huge compliment. With enough love and nurturing from people who care he'll be just fine no matter what medical hurdles has has to overcome and thank God he found someone to do that. |

I echo alot of the sentmients already posted. I doubt you'll find many people here that would gag at the thought of your caring side, those sorts dont tend to register to websites dedicated to benefiting the general human race.
Moments like today make this shitty life just about bearable. I have yet to experience an event of such gravity but can genuinely say that I would likely react in much the same way.

Never could you be called a wuss, Obi. I didn't cry at the story, but it was definitely touching. Trust me though, if I had been in your position I would have be crying my eyes out.
I think that men who do not allow themselves to cry are the true wusses, because they are not brave enough to let their true emotions show.
There was a photographer who recently did a series of portraits of some of Hollywood's most famous manly men. All of them were crying. It shows that no matter how tough you are, you can cry, and should be allowed to cry. You can find the series entitled "Crying Men" here.
Looking at the pictures made me cry the first time I saw them, because they are so moving.
*sighs* I wish we could bait crack dealers, or crack moms...or whatever. It's just so terrible the amount of agony they cause their babies when they are born. |

I don't know what it was, or why I decided to post it in here. When it comes to letting the emotions out, I'm neither a manly-macho-man with a heart of stone nor one of those sandal-wearing metro-sexuals who cries when they watch Bambi. In my "adult" life, I've shed tears when my kids were born, at a couple of funerals, when my friend was in grave danger, and that's aboot it. I came pretty close when I went to the cinema for Dukes Of Hazzard and saw Stiffler, the guy from Jackass and Jessica (t*ts on a stick) Simpson trying to act, but that was different!
Something about that little critter just rocked me to the core of my soul though. Maybe it was because he's known nothing but pain and confusion his whole life but smiled at me anyway. Maybe it was how he just didn't give a fuck (sorry) about the injustices piled on him from day one, and was able to find enjoyment no matter what. Next time I'm having a lousy day, I'm going to think of this kid and how he wouldn't let his problems break him down.
It's not the first time I've learned that lesson, but it was a damn good reminder! For now, however, I think it's time to hurt some more lads. Thanks for all your support folks. |

Obi, your compassion is touching.
I also commend that adoptive mother. She is the only mother that tyke will ever know, and he will be safe and secure in that family. I have a special spot in my heart for parents who take on the responsibility of raising a child that is not theirs biologically, because I was adopted myself. But for someone to take on the even greater responsibility of caring for a child with so many things that might be considered strikes against him by uncaring, unfeeling people - that takes a special kind of person.
And to earn the trust of a child to the point of having them go to sleep in your arms - well, Obi, there are depths to you that we have only now begun to see. Keep up the good work. |
