Often a good mommy is forced to relinquish her baby because she simply does not have the resources or skills to cope with the difficulties in her life. In restoring a baby to his biological family, sometimes this is fairly simple, as in the case of a destitute mommy of a premature baby who cannot afford to heat her accommodation during the winter - we care for her baby while he is most fragile, then he goes home with mom. Sometimes this is more difficult: if a mommy dies in childbirth, and extended family have to be traced. The family often live far away and need time to prepare for a new child, who may have special needs.

Sometimes the intervention required from us is brief, sometimes it takes a while. But every time it is worth it!
