We do not charge for adoptions. We only ask that you first learn about them and are ready to commit to their care. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have,.

I have two boys. I raised them both with a syringe. They come everywhere with me and they both are very clingy. They're with me most of the day in my clothes or playing around. In the beginning I was very cautious; washing my hands after I touched them, keeping them away from me when I eat, washing they're bedding twice a week, but I've found myself being less careful. Sometimes they'll lick me inside of my mouth or nose (I try to stop them) I kiss them, and they drink water with me out of the same glass and stuff like that. My family have been raising questions about diseases. I got them both when they're eyes were still closed, if that's relevant. I live in a rural area in South Africa.
