I must admit we waited for quite long, but when she finally appeared her contrite mood covered up everything.

I must admit we waited for quite long, but when she finally appeared her contrite mood covered up everything.
Judith Bitature Heard is simple, easy and welcoming, contrary to what gossip reveals. She likes simple lifestyle; the one that allows her to shop, party and visit.
But she has been portrayed as a rich woman.
Judith is also known for her sleek cars with customised number plates, which she changes regularly. She is a fashion model and a beautician with a posh salon in Kabalagala, a Kampala suburb.
At 19 years Judith, then a fashion model at Silvie’s boutique, got married to Dr. Alex Heard, an American businessman.
Asked why she married early, Judith says age does not determine the success of marriage or relationship.
She fell in love and felt it was the right time to get married.
Though many describe her as a socialite and glamour girl, they either ignore or never realise her kind heart.
Judith’s soft side comes out whenever she talks about the disadvantaged children. She has a passion for needy children.
This Judith is different from the one many know and see at social places.
Two years ago she adopted a son from Sanyu Babies Home, whom she named Brandon Heard. she also looks after other orphans who she plans to adopt officially.
Well, Judith lost her father at an early age and life was not pleasant but this only instilled the kind spirit she now shares with the underprivileged.
Born 24 years ago, Judith went to City Parents Primary School and Hornby Junior School in Kabale before leaving for Kigali in Rwanda for her secondary education. Her mother nurtured spiritualism into her life and taught her the most important values of the family. She respects and loves everyone.
The quest for good life has taken her far and wide, and although she has met many fulfiling goals, the exploration returns her to one thought. She must share this beautiful world and treasures of earth with some of the suffering children.
Judith is driven by the passion of adoption.
“Choosing to adopt a baby is a gift from God and an act of true love,†Judith says.
“I don’t have a father; I know what a parentless child goes through. I feel the good life I live should be shared with someone needy.â€
The idea to adopt children bothered her for a few weeks until she went for Brandon, who was then three months old. He is now two years old.
Despite difficulties in the process of adoption, she persisted until she won herself a lovely baby boy.
.“I wish all rich people could adopt needy children,†Judith requests.
She says it feels good when someone who once suffered or is exposed to danger calls you mummy!
“You feel sympathetic but very happy.â€
Judith is now a responsible mother teaching her son to live a simple but comfortable life.
One would say the kind spirit runs in the family. Judith’s mother always comes in handy to help whenever she is busy. Her sisters also help in her new found passion.
Is she ready to tell her adopted son the truth?
Yes, “One day when he is old enough I will tell him the truth. I dont want someone else to tell him,†Judith says.
Her commitment is confirmed by her answers to possible deviant behaviour by her son. She is optimistic about the boy.
“He is still my child. It does not matter, but I will make sure he grows to become a responsible citizen,†she asserts.
The climax of Judith’s passion is when Brandon calls her mummy. she says it gives her confidence and satisfaction.
Judith says you don’t need to be rich to adopt a child. You only have to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home for a child.
She says children require sensitive and committed people who understand their unique emotional and development needs.
They need parents who are emotionally stable, and genuinely value the abilities and potential of special needs children.
To be a successful foster parent you must have appropriate motivations and realistic expectations.
You should have the commitment and, ability to sustain long-term relationships, flexibility and emotional openness.
