Introducing...
Moses Samuel Meseret Krabbendam.
We're coming to get you Mosey! You've always been our boy since we first laid eyes on you on October 24th. But today you are officially and legally our son. We thank God that he has chosen you to make us a family. And we thank and honour and pray for your birth parents as they have made the most difficult sacrifice.
Moses \m(o)-ses\ is pronounced MOH-ziz. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "saviour". Also possibly (Hebrew) "drawn out of the water". Biblical: name of the Hebrew infant pulled out of the River Nile and adopted by the Egyptian Pharoah's daughter. Moses later became the great leader of the exiled Israelites. Moses ben Maimon (12th century), also known as Maimonides, was a Jewish scholar born in Moorish Spain. He was the court physician of Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt, and was famous for his writings (in both Hebrew and Arabic) on logic, mathematics, medicine, law and Jewish theology.
