Baby rescued from garbage turns 23

May 17, 2013 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

Rachael Clark is graduating from university and getting married this summer. Read the emotional journey, here.

Her issues stem from the way her life began. On Sept. 27, 1989, the day Rachael was born, she was sealed inside a dark garbage bag with her umbilical cord and placenta still attached. The trash bag was then thrown, hard, into a dumpster. Minutes before she ran out of oxygen, someone heard her cries and saved her. Her abandonment and rescue in Temple Hills, Md., became one of the most widely publicized stories of its kind — so well-known, in fact, that Rachael overheard people talking about it in front of her when she was about 2.

    That was tough to read – thoroughly appreciated as well.
