1 yr old Muslim baby needs Muslim foster home - please help
Asalaam Aleikum Brothers and Sisters:
We have a CAS child in need of a Muslim foster parent. It my understanding that this baby's parents (originally from Iraq) do not want the child in their care and as a result, they have agreed to sign off their parental rights. Baby Mohamed has a severe disability and is currently placed in a non-muslim home; soon to be adopted by his foster parents.
What's disturbing about this case is that the foster parents are requesting to change baby's religion ASAP as they want to pray for the baby in a church. The good news is that the baby's CAS worker is a muslim and she is working deligently to stop this and help baby Mohamed. She has already informed the foster parents that they can not change child's religion, at least at this point unless the adoption papers come through...this usually takes time.
Brothers and sisters we all are obligated to help baby Mohamed...so roll up your sleaves and start calling around to find a muslim home before baby Mohamed is adopted off.
I do not have all the details for this case but I am pleading to all of you to assist locating a muslim family for baby Mohamed. I'm told that the baby is about a year old and is very adorable. As you are aware, a child with disability receives all sort of incentives from the federal govt to help pay for the needs a disabled child. In addition, CAS foster parents do get paid handsomely for caring for children with disabilities.
Please call your friends, family, relatives, whoever who is willing to become a foster parent. The process of becoming a foster parent isn't ! that complicated. Remember fostering isn't the same as adoption. All you need is to have a home and some time to care for the child.
Remember, this is a toddler...lets open our hearts and our homes for another baby instead of focusing on OUR own...(sorry if I've offended anyone . Baby Mohamed's current foster parents have stated that unless this child is made a christian so that they can pray for him, they can no longer continue caring for him. CAS is willing to allow whoever who qualifies to foster baby Mohamed. SO lets work on this one insha-allah and help make a difference in our community and most importantly for baby Mohamed.
If you have any leads, please call me directly so that I can ensure the name reaches the right person. I can be reached at 258-2012 after 6 pm or at work 252-1171 Ext. 2803 or via my cell 564-6901 or e-mail.
Jazak Allah for all your efforts and please make dua for baby Mohammed and his family.
