Here's a reluctant (or confused, or scared, or something) young mother who did NOT opt for an abortion but instead delivered a precious new life and gave it a better chance than it would have had with her.

I'm not praising her lack of parenting skills or will, just saying, here's a baby that was SAVED.

Good for California that they have a law that allows this:

In California, a parent or legal guardian can surrender a newborn at fire stations and hospital emergency rooms with no fear of arrest. The law is meant to protect infants from being hurt, neglected or killed.

Thank you Dear Lady for choosing life and giving your little girl a great gift.
A loving home with a family that will adore her.

May your baby know that you are her hero. Not someone who “abandoned” her, but unselfishly gave her away to save your life.

Good that it’s a national news story. There will be no shortage of adoptive parents who will wish to take the baby into their hearts and their homes. Were all abandoned and neglected children so lucky.

Praise the Lord for this law in California. California may have a lot of problems and abortion may be legal but they have realized that a life, any life, is important and valuable.

A wonderful thing that I assumed was nationwide.

In a nutshell, there's your alternative to the abortion and single-parent plague: adoption and orphanages. Funny how an old discredited institution becomes seen in a better light when we land in the fire.

As the father of two grown children, a son and daughter, I cannot fathom giving up my infant child but I am thankful that this young woman did just that so that this little baby can have a real chance at life.

Is she a U.S. citizen or a Mexican citizen?

where’s the father in all this? Studies have shown that babies are routinely adopted out while the father is desparately trying to track down his infant from what little (or no) information the mother provides.

They are also sent to foster homes like my hubby’s psychotic ex wife who has no business with children of her own (horrendous permissive non-parent) let alone other foster children.

So many of these stories of unwanted newborns end in tragedy, it is truly heartwarming to hear of one who will at least have a chance in this world.

Thank you for posting this!

It may also encourage women to carry out the pregnancy instead of seeking abortion.
