Nearly one year ago, on January 28th, at about 1:47 in the morning, PCSO deputies rescued an abandoned newborn baby girl in Mulberry.
The girl was wrapped in a blanket, still attached to the placenta.
The temperature outside was in the lower 50s, and members of Polk County Fire Rescue checked the girl out and determined that, based on the girl’s temperature, she had been born about an hour before she was found.
Fortunately, a nearby resident heard the baby girl’s cries and called 911.
Despite an extensive effort by PCSO detectives, the girl’s mother has never been located or identified.
Fast forward ten months and one day–the baby girl has officially been adopted.
We are thrilled to share with you these photos from this morning of this precious angel with her new mom and dad, along with PCSO’s Detective Green and Sgt. Ryan.
Mom & Dad wish to keep their names from being published, but they allowed us to share these photos with everyone who followed this child’s story and prayed for her well-being.
