Finding those who found her
OK, that’s a pretty good heart-warming story. Enjoy!
It was Sept. 6, 1989. They discovered the newborn wrapped in towels at the front door of a townhouse in their Fairfax County complex and took the infant to Emily’s, where her stepfather called police.
The whole thing was over pretty quickly. The authorities took the baby girl, who was later adopted. Chris and Emily, both 15, went on with their lives, although Emily often cried when she told people the story, and the two called each other every Sept. 6.
Twenty years passed.
Then, on Dec. 2, a college student named Mia Fleming sent them both a message via Facebook: Might they be the same Chris and Emily who had once found a baby left at a stranger’s door?
If so, she just wanted to say thanks.
You know, even if I can’t understand how a woman could abandon a baby she’d just given birth to, I’m still glad she did have the baby instead of going to a clinic to get rid of her “problem”.

That made me cry. Beautiful story.
Simple people doing simple things. Caring for people is not really complicated – it’s beautiful though.
