In Georgia, a newborn baby was found in a plastic bag abandoned in the woods. A miracle happened: The baby was alive! More than 700 people inquired about adopting this newborn. Another 200 who were already on the waiting list for adoption also wanted this newborn. Imagine this: Nearly 1,000 people offered to take this baby into their homes and give the baby love and nurturing and a life.

If you are reading this and you are pregnant or if you know someone who is pregnant and are not able to keep the baby for whatever reason, please don’t kill your baby before he or she has a chance to be loved. There are hundreds of families who are not able to have a baby or who want to add more children to their family through adoption.

Nearly 1,000 families wanted this precious gift from God left in the woods in a plastic bag. Can you imagine how many families here in Hawaii who would love to adopt your baby?
