THE family who found a baby boy in a basket at their front door say they want to raise the child and have already named him Moses. The family said the baby boy, who was dressed in a jumpsuit, was wrapped in a warm blanket inside a basket outside the Juers St home at Kingston in Logan about 5.30am on Saturday. Police interview woman over baby Saitonu Misa, 39, said a note written in Samoan was attached and addressed to his parents Raymond and Lafo, asking them to raise him. "We want society to know that we are the type of family who will embrace this," Mr Misa told The Courier-Mail. Mr Misa said his mother had been with the baby at the hospital since it was left with the family and felt she had a connection to the boy, who was understood to be four to five days old when he was left at the house. He said if the woman had chosen his parents because she could no longer look after the baby boy, or if it were for other reasons including if the birth was out of wedlock, she should still come forward and give her consent. "It is going to make the process easier for you to verbally say that my parents can have guardianship," Mr Misa said. I know it's going to break my mum's heart if baby doesn't come home. The baby on Sunday remained in hospital as detectives continued working on the case. Detective Sergeant Deon Ditton appealed for the mother to come forward but refused to comment on whether she would face charges. Detectives on Sunday afternoon spent a number of hours at the Juers St home. "As far as I'm aware the baby is in good health and is still in Logan Hospital under observation," Det Sgt Deon Ditton said. At this stage, as I understand, because the child was underweight the child will be staying in hospital for some time. Late on Sunday police said a woman was assisting police with inquiries but did not go into further detail. Mr Misa, whose parents have five children and 15 grandchildren, said his family felt there was a strong connection to whoever left the baby at the house. He said the note said words to the effect of: "I would like to leave this baby with you because I know that you will raise this child well. I refrain from leaving my name because I don't want it to be awkward. I am being deported back to the island. The family have lived in the community for more than 20 years. "They used dad's (Samoan) chief name (in the letter)," he said. It must be someone in the circle we know. Mr Misa's sister Oina, 27, who lives at the house, said she found the baby on Saturday morning. "He didn't make a noise," she said. I picked up the basket; he was still sleeping.
