Hello, ambulance? I… I found a baby in the entrance hall. It looks like someone dropped it off. Please come quickly
One early morning, Christina left home for groceries. On her way back, she heard a faint cry near her building’s stairwell. There, she found a newborn baby, cold and abandoned. Shocked and concerned, she called an ambulance and stayed by the baby’s side until help arrived. At the hospital, doctors said the baby was alive but weak. Christina wasn’t the mother — just someone who found him. Still, she couldn’t stop thinking about the fragile little boy.
She shared the emotional experience with her friend Oksana and later called the hospital to check on the baby’s condition. The thought of him stayed with her, and she began to wonder: Could she care for him?
A week later, Christina visited the hospital and saw the baby again. Her heart was moved. After speaking with her mother and receiving cautious encouragement, she contacted child welfare services to ask about adoption.
Christina started the long process — gathering documents, attending parenting courses, and undergoing evaluations. Months later, she was officially approved to adopt. In August, the court declared her the baby’s legal mother. Christina received his birth certificate listing her as “Mother,” and celebrated the beginning of a new life with her loved ones.
