Doesn’t look the same to me.
I am willing to come to Southhaven to pick this sweet little one up! I can leave my contact info. He deserves to have a warm bed, and someone to tell him it will be ok!
I’ll take him home 😞💔
I would love to adopt him
I would love to adopt him 🥰

Man I’ll take care of him, if y’all cannot locate a home for him. I have one for him. I can’t have anymore kids but we want another one, but this child here will be the missing piece.
What needs to be done in order for my family to adopt this sweet baby? He will definitely be loved and cared for without a doubt. Please let me know what further instructions I need to follow in order to start the process. Thank you!
I will take him in! Please contact me no child deserves to be abandoned like this. 💔
I have a house with plenty room!
We will gladly take him is as well! He will have brothers and a sister that would love to play with him!
Am I the only one that thinks the description and pics don’t match? The hat is obviously NOT a cowboy hat and there is no mention of this woman or a van.
I agree with you that looks more like a beach or fishing hat to me and the build and skin color to me looks like a Hispanic , white , or asian and the build looks more like a woman or a very small man . I hope they find out who that person is but I’m feeling like the person with that child is not it’s parent .
I will love to have this little guy I have 3 kids and all three is gone off to college I’m 40 years old I promise he will be loved dearly.
Awww can I please get him
If no one comes
Forth I will take good care of him he needs a home for the holidays😩💙praying for him
I would love to take him in i have plenty of room for him
For all of you wanting to take him in, please become foster to adopt families. There are so many children in our area without stable homes in all age ranges. Each one of these children deserves a Christmas and a parent who loves them. Reach out, and change two lives. Yours and a child’s.
you are so right! there is a desperate need for caring foster parents and adoptive parents
This is heart breaking I pray God have mercy on his parents for abandoning this young child. He said in His word whatever you do to one of them you’re doing it to Him 💔😢
Apparently they felt they could not care for the child. My heart breaks for this little boy. Praying for everyone involved. He is adorable.
I can bring clothes or anything to help this sweet baby!!! Honestly, please contact me if I can help!! ❤
It looks like a woman with the hat on. And the glasses are definitely women glasses. Js
I pray that someone will be able to take him in, poor baby.
Oh man give me this poor baby 🥺 I’ll love him. This is pitiful. Damn shame 🤦♀️
Omg look at this sweet baby boy! I will take him. He will have his own room, a great Christmas, plenty of food, all of the loving he can stand & we will do some at-home learning. I have a son and I will definitely take another one into my home. Where do I fill out adoption papers?
If no one shows up for this child let me know. I’d love to bring him some gifts for Christmas and I’d take him in a heart beat no child should ever have to feel abandon and alone
We will love and take care of this precious baby.
