CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) -
A newborn baby was thrown into a pit by her mother, set on fire and left for dead.
That was the first hours of life for the child known as Baby Shirley, born in Swaziland, Africa.
Against all odds she survived and found her way to a mission based in Cape Girardeau, and a couple who brought her to the states for life saving surgery.
That's only part of this baby's incredible story.
For Raelenna and Jeremy Ferguson and their family, this moment was nothing short of a miracle. The sweetest ending to one of the family's regular trips to a mission in Africa.
"It was just surreal," Raelenna Ferguson said. "It truly is just a miracle they said yes."
Yes across the board to save Baby Shirley by bringing her to the United States. She survived two trials of death her own mother put her through in Africa. She was first tossed into a latrine, then burned and left for dead.
"There's extreme poverty and a high HIV rate," Raelenna Ferguson said. "We can't explain why she did it."

“We can’t explain why she did it.”
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say she did it because she’s evil.
Pretty much.
It’s one thing to not want a baby. It’s another to set it on fire in a ditch.
Cape Girardeau must be a special town, not only for this, bust being the hometown of Rush and David Limbaugh.
