Adoption was the best thing I ever did

It took divine intervention for Grace Wanunda to become the adoptive mother of two children. She shared her unique journey as a single, adoptive mother with Pauline Muindi.

It took eight months to be matched with a baby. My baby. The first time I met my daughter, Angel Faraja, was in the end of February 2015. I had been sent a photo of her, taken soon after birth.  But when I went to meet her, she was almost unrecognisable. She was so tiny and frail. I cried my lungs out. What had happened between when she was born and the four months she lived in the institution? She was born at 3.3kg and when I met her at four months, she was weighing only 5 kilogrammes.
