Another Abandoned in Mississippi

Just recently a baby was dropped off at an approved Safe Haven location in Nevada.

This is fascinating. Today’s article covers the story of the first bachelor to adopt an infant. The police officer in the story helped to save an abandoned infant in Chicago many years ago. The link does not provide the full story, but I believe there is a link to purchase the book if you are […]
