There is so much sadness and hurt in this world today. Yesterday on the news I saw how a mother who just delivered her beautiful baby girl placed her in a plastic bag and dumped her in the woods.
This is baby India, named by the police. A beautiful healthy baby girl found in a plastic bag dumped in the woods. Thank God a family heard her screams (they thought it was a cat and went to investigate) and called the police. This mother, we can only assume she's very young, could have brought the baby to one of the Safe Haven places in her area.
As a mother, this hurts me. There are so many of us that struggled to have children. I am blessed with my miracle baby girl (not so baby anymore) but I can't have any more children. I didn't want to be part of the one and done club. I have two sisters but grew up with so many cousins. I've always dreamt of having a big family so that my kid(s) could experience that. I had to do IVF many times, I suffered an ectopic pregnancy. I cry every single time I hear a story like this or of parents killing or hurting their kids.
These beautiful babies didn't deserve this. I would have taken Baby India with loving, open arms as many of us would have. I would have taken any of those children. For those of us that cannot have any more children, for those of us that struggle to conceive, for those of us that are always willing to open our homes and welcome another child, we beg you, please stop hurting the children.
