God bless the biological mom for doing the right thing
♥️
It has nothing right in that. The child mother is human. An has alright s with her baby. There should be an open door for both mother, child an adopted folks to communicate. This leads to pre teen problems. I would want that for the guys that are taking care of baby.
@lefish Amen. ❤❤❤
I agree so much!!
Yeah but that biological Mom has now left a giant void in her daughter because at some point when she gets older, natural curiosity will kick in and she'll want to know who her biological parents are, for closure if anything else.
I hope the biological mother sees this and realizes what an amazing future she gifted her daughter.
I was thinking the same thing😢
Yeah
This is a really sad thing where we live in a society where there are so many people who don’t deserve to be parents because they don’t have any business raising a child- or even owning pets for that matter- while truly good, loving parents like these people are struggling to find their own child to adopt.
The firefighter and his wife gifted her daughter an amazing future, the biological parent probably dumped her .
I applauded the birth mother , we dont know the real story. She maybe struggle alot that only this option she can do to save her baby. But on the other hand ,it is a great gift from God above for the adoptive parents.
Imagine being the biological mother knowing that’s your baby on the news and someone is already loving her and giving her a life she deserves 🥺 my heart . God bless her mama for making that huge decision and not being selfish 😢
That is cool
And using the safe box, and not throwing into a thrash bin like others do.
It must be a great feeling. A pastor come out with this idea to save babies in Korea. So mothers could have an other choice. And not just abandon their babies in a trash can ect. It's a beautiful history, the mother must be so happy.
Abortion is not selfish. Women who choose abortion are equally brave.
Lies again? NRIC Card
Honestly a round of applause for the biological parent for not dropping her in the trash or anywhere unsafe. They have blessed a new family with this beloved child.
Her mom loves her dearly but obviously couldn't take care of her. It is so difficult ,on one side there is happiness and joy for people who finally can be parents ,but somewhere there is a mom with broken heart...💔
Sending her so much love ❤❤
Sadly there are SO many people who oppose these safe haven boxes. This is the perfect example of why they exist & how they do work!
yeah thanks mom for dumping me , you should read the book called "Soft Bigotry Of Low Expetations" , you might not like it though.
@@SirHumphrey498 I think it's probably more, thank you for giving me a second chance at life with another family instead of just killing me or leaving me to die lol just saying
I’m sad the mother was in a position to not be able to keep her baby but I am so unbelievably grateful she found the strength to make such a hard decision and put her baby where she knew she would be safe.
But it should be HER decision and no one else's.
Why are you sad? You are making assumptions. The great news is that she didn't try to throw her away in the trash.
Sad for who??? I’m not sad. She is in a safe and happy home. You don’t know the life of the mother.
I'm not sad.She made a selfless choice that was best for her and the baby. She gave her baby to a family that could give Zoey the love and upbringing she deserves. It makes me so angry when I hear about children being raised by abusive parents; There are so many people out there (like this couple) that would make wonderful parents, but don't have the opportunity for various reasons. This is a happy ending.
@@missfirenice1421 exactly, but that mother had to make a very hard decision that mother obviously had a bond that normal moms have she didn't throw her in the trash if she chooses to DNA is to the point if they wanted to find her they can so she won't have to worry about her health history it's no fun when your sitting in the doctor's office being asked does this run in your family or that run in your family? And saying no but you really don't know . This mother can remain anonymous and if she wants she can choose that setting and baby Zoie won't have to wonder because she is loved and was given the greatest gift a mother can give unselfish love.
I'm so glad that her biological mother left her there. Americans should be grateful that there exists such a thing where a desperate mother can at least have that option. She's a lucky baby!
I concur with your sentiment 100%♡
Never heard of these boxes until today. It would be great if every major city had one!
It should be everywhere not just in america @edyann
@@Lillyxxxo Yes, yes! I didn't know I had replies for my comment until yours. Yes, I definitely agree! I'm not in favor of abandoning one's child but I just heard on the news of another woman in California who left her baby on the sidewalk I believe, and a couple of construction workers rescued him. I don't want to judge because who knows why the mother did this but in desperation- at least there's a safe haven for the baby. I wish my country and all countries had this!
The best parents 🥺
A baby box should be at every hospital/ fire department. It saves lives and creates family's
consider starting a fundraiser to get one in your community 🙂
Lies again? Home Team Star Hub
All fire stations have baby boxes
I’m a bio mom too. It’s been 53 years for me. Stories like this help me. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve had regrets every day of my life, but yet I’ve also known, every day of my life, that I did the right thing.
Thank you for doing the right thing.❤
You did a wonderful thing. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Elaine 69 years ago my mother a single 21 year old woman gave me up for adoption. I got great parents and was very happy with them but I always wondered about my other mom. Two weeks ago I discovered who she was. A woman who 5 months after I was born died during surgery after a car accident. She did the right thing if I could hug her it would be wonderful but I can’t. I drove a couple of hours last week to the small town she was from and visited her church for services and found her grave along with those of my grandparents. I was sad but thankful. She has beautiful grandchildren and great grandchildren and a very grateful son. I still don’t know what she looked like but in my heart she is beautiful. I am sure your child thinks the same.
@@miketierney7451Dying a few months or a year after giving birth is the best gift any mother could give to their child.
I’ve always thought giving a baby up for adoption would be one of the most difficult things to do in life, and would haunt you life long. Even when it’s the right thing to do, for whatever reason. I think it would help to know that the child did well.
As an adopted person myself, this makes me so happy. I can tell this child will be so loved.
You literally took the same words out of my mouth.
@queenhawtnezz. She IS loved, U can see in the parents eyes just the way they look at her, talk about her! I truly hope U felt loved by your parents & family❤
I grew up in care and my heart sings for this child, and her biological mother too. Baby's gone to a good family, mother can rest knowing she didn't carry a baby to full term in vain.
My brother is adopted. By my own uncle. They told him when he was 6. He's soooo lucky to have 4 parents!
I was given a child that I didn’t want. By a court. And, she was the greatest blessing that I didn’t create. So, yes. Have them babies. They will bring joy to someone!
Lets take a moment to acknowledge this husband’s dedication to his wife! They tried having a family for a decade and are both an example of love. Love is patient.
This is truly an Amazing Story, Bless the Biological mother & this new family!
"Dedication to his wife" what did you mean by that? Because he stuck around? I'm not really sure what you mean.
Your statement seems to assume the infertility issues are the wife’s. Blessings to the family. God works in wonderful and mysterious ways.
@@breezeh1127yeah, could very well be an issue on his side. Sad people think infertility is something to leave your spouse over…..those people have no moral values if that’s how they really think.
@@Chels-fz5uq Clearly they’re referring to the people who actually leave their spouses due to infertility. Clearly, they don’t agree with that type of behavior so they are congratulating someone who did not do that.
He opened the box and won the jackpot.
I love how choked up the dad is getting. You can tell these two will ferociously protect and love on this little girl.
I hope the biological mother is able to see this and see that her daughter is so well cared for and that she made the right choice.
The idea of anonymity, I think, is preferable though. What if the mother suddenly decides that she'd like her back? She now knows where to find her, and, even though the baby is now legally adopted, she could cause all sorts of trouble. Not being cynical, just logical, so here's hoping that the situation remains good for all involved.
congratulations to the new parents
Beautiful baby, so happy for mom and dad. It’s obvious they adore their new baby.
@@sheilaboston7051 I was thinking the same thing.
@@sheilaboston7051I agree. I don't think they should show the baby. Looks like she has reddish hair, so the birth mother will know. Might cause big problems. Hope not, but ....
To the birth mother…. If you are reading this, you are so courageous, strong and a phenomenal woman.
Never doubt yourself, and please never give up on yourself, you are worth it and no one can replace you.
❤
❤
*Tears...such a beautiful heartfelt message. God Bless this woman and may*
*the Angels walk beside her always.*
Bless you for your kind words ♥️i hope she sees this...
You did an amazing thing for your daughter. She'll always have your heart 💓
His face has all the kindness and innocence. I am sure the baby is in safe hands.
This little girl is the luckiest baby ever. She has adoring parents who will give her a great life and a selfless bio mother who knew what was the right thing to do
Bless the biological mom for doing the most amazing thing!
Yes - too many stories of them being hurt or worse!
So happy the biological mom chose life and did not end her life before she was born, she’s absolutely gorgeous, and looks so happy with her family! 🩷
@@Lulusvideos1STFU.
Better than Alexee Trevizo
Got knocked up, didn’t want her own child, you called that amazing?? Take some responsibility.
No matter how that baby was conceived, or born….. she has life and loving parents.
@MrSpeed-do2zk. Yes, the ones that have them then neglect them and abuse them. 😢
It does matter because not every child will grow up this fortunate. And thats never the childs fault.
Amen
@MrSpeed-do2zkThis mother did the right thing. Instead of hurting the baby like many mothers who don’t want their baby and/or are hiding their pregnancy. That’s why these boxes are there, so the baby is safe and will be adopted by a family instead of having to go through the system for years.
No lie here!! ❤❤❤
This baby fits so perfectly in this family . Definitely a gift from God. Perfect and loving parents too💕
I’m really glad this couple was already registered to adopt. That really helped move this miracle along. Congratulations to their little family👨👩👧
I love how there’s no hate toward the birth mother and that they’re putting this out there to set her mind at ease and to tell her she did the right thing
No there is no "hate" but there is empathy that she didn't get to keep a baby that really belongs to her. No where to turn in red states for pregnant unwed women with no financial help. When you are forced to give up your baby for economic reasons that's called "dystopia." Sorry to burst your utopian bubble of the 'selfless mom." Hopefully she and her child can reunite at some point in the future.
@@fremontpathfinder8463 how dystopian is it that the illegal aliens come here with zero support and make babies and its the best country ever to make babies. But that baby was a redheaded white child and the parents are hispanic appearing. The concept of hardship is a joke other than govt regulations.
@fremontpathfinder8463 maybe people should be more careful and use protection?? How do you know she just didn't want the baby?!? Lord knows enough of them are dumped like trash! She did the right thing!
@@fremontpathfinder8463as a fellow birthmother I can tell you we DO NOT give our child up. We place them. I know adoption is not perfect and every birthmom has a different story but I think you should talk to a birthmom before you make a judgement.
@@rmarvel169 Yes maybe MEN should use protection. So all of a sudden it's the woman's fault?
This little girls birth Mom is most clearly a loving, caring and selfless woman. She gave her daughter what she perhaps didn't think she could do in giving her the best possible life. Bless her always.
I 2nd that emotion
Yeh and she did it on a good place a firehouse w a baby sade box some times they just leave them in streets trashanks etc so she def wanted the baby to have a good life so she lett it were she knew they would take care of her
Right. I mean she could have raised the kid but I guess that would be selfish when she could just stick her in a box and be a hero.
@@carolecompton9270 I love Smokey.
@@BoratM.Sagdievwe don't know the mother's situation but she does. She obviously felt she couldn't raise her, maybe she is a teen and parents didn't know, maybe she is a addict. I have worked pediatric emergency for many years which you can not imagine what I saw, so yes this birth mother is a hero so to speak.
All of this man's fellow firefighters at the station must be treating him like a king,
the fire chief better give him a raise and some vacation time too.
The biological mother is a selfless and brave woman who knew her daughter deserves a family. ❤
What if she changes her mind?
@@tessdurberville711 the baby is now 100% legally adopted. She can’t get her back. I’m sure her birth mom knew that but I know it was probably scary for her! 😢❤
@@Rae_Naeee the parents seem like decent people. I sure they would establish contact, if possible. open adoptions have proven to be the best course of action for the adopted child.
that's l♥️ve
Nah. She saw it was born with red hair so she didn't want it.
I hope the biological mother is doing well! I can’t imagine how she felt after leaving the baby in the box and turning her back… I’m glad she did the right thing! She is a good woman. ❤
😭
Stop being so sympathetic with the biological mother. Only a heartless monster can dump her own newborn child like that.
@@comicnerd1186 if she truly didn't want her, she would've had an abortion. She wanted her to be born but probably couldn't afford to take care of her. Come on, Nerd, don't be so dense.
@@comicnerd1186she didn’t “dump her” though, she put her somewhere that she knew she’d be safe and they have around the clock alarms for those boxes. She clearly wasn’t in the position to be the best person to raise Zoey, and now Zoey has found a family that is 🥺
@@comicnerd1186 Quit judging - you have no idea what that lady was going through.😡
That baby is absolutely gorgeous. Oh what a beautiful little girl, that hair is a dream.
Imagine being this lucky. She has the best parents you could ever ask for.
I have tears in my eyes. Beautiful story. Especially when the father said, “It was a gift from God.”
Gosh me too. I cried n lucky baby
Yeah 😊
god chose the Mother to carry this child, He did not chose this couple. Do you think God makes mistakes? Do you think God calls us to take babies from poor or distressed mothers or do you think He calls us to help them keep their babies. Would you want your child taken from you at any downturn in your life? Stop blaspheming God. “”love thy neighbor as thyself”
Yes, agree. 😭 *So beautiful!* ❤💕💞💕❤ *Thank you to all the birth Moms who gave the 🎁 gift of LIFE to their little one.* 🎉 Because of the decision these women made, I have much loved family members and friends as a result. Choose LIFE. 🎉
Funny thing I read this on Google..and now I seeing here..Wow look@ God just saying to me everything is in this timing ❤❤❤
This is why those 'safe haven' boxes are so important! It gives a mother going through a situation a safe decision to make... and it gives loving people like these two the chance to start a family! Thank you to the biological mom... and thank you to the couple that adopted this beautiful baby! Such a beautiful story!
Also what people need to know is a safe haven box is a wonderful thing to help babies, but also Safe haven laws are laws in every state and all they have to do is walk into an emergency room or a fire station (even when a box is not present) and hand the baby over. They are given a paper to fill out with basic family health history which maybe important and are given a bracelet with matching numbers. The identity of the mother is kept confidential either way. And in a period of time if she decides not to come back the baby is then adopted. Like the 19 year old woman who gave birth then murdered her son in the er of a hospital in Arizona or New Mexico. All she had to do was hand the baby over and leave. She would’ve gotten the care she needed and the baby would be safe now. It’s so sad and situations like this do not have to happen.
How beautiful! I pray the biological mom is watching. Thank you so much for loving your baby enough to give her a chance for happiness.🥹💞🙏
Divine intervention 🙏
@@Weatheredstorms1right, and women don't know about the options because all they are told is that abortion is a right and the only solution...
This was a big decision on the mom's part. Thank God she did the right thing for this child. These people love her.
I hope nobody blames the biological mother. There must be a reason or circumstances for her to do so; she made the right decision. She didn't hurt or threw her baby in the dark but instead somewhere she knew was safe. I'm glad the baby found a loving new home and family.
I’m so proud of her. Imagine how difficult that would be.
In a world where parents are in the news daily for doing unspeakably horrible things to their children, this little girl’s birth mother is a true hero. Zoey literally looks like an angel ❤
The biological mother is no heroes. Heroes are these two human beings that will give this child a home and a loving family.
@@flower5396yes but she could have aborted the baby, in the end she technically did give the baby a loving home
@@flower5396it's a pretty brave thing to do, to give up your baby, when you know you can't give her what she needs. Don't diminish that.
@@flower5396a humans first home is it’s mother’s womb. Bless her.
@@flower5396I don’t agree, it is a shame to be so judgemental- I hope you receive more grace than you give to this unknown person.
I hope the birth mother watches this and finds peace. You did such a beautiful selfless thing by taking that beautiful little girl to the box. Look at her now, wrapped in unconditional love.
She didn't do the worst thing by putting her in the box.
It’s sick and twisted. They force women to give birth so people who can’t have kids can take them for free. It’s human trafficking point blank period. This is disgusting
I hope so too. I hope she knows that her nurturing and birthing and giving this child to these other parents was a monumental acheivement in her life, a brave choice, a good choice, and that God loves her for it. 🙏 x
@@naraendrareddy273but it’s also bad cause you ditched your baby in a box leaving it to have nothing and just be in a box
@@naraendrareddy273 i don’t think so. Instead of setting her baby up for failure she perhaps gave her a chance at something better than what situation she was in. I find it beautiful that these are humans that had nothing to do with this process of birth that genuinely love this little person. It’s wholesome.
The child is so cute there's no way you could pass that child and not feel warmth in your heart.
Such a sacrifice and act of love from the biological mother. Such a beautiful story and I hope she's able to see this and know her daughters in good hands ❤️
what "sacrifice"😂 dumping her child? child got lucky nothing to glorify mothers abandoning children.. This is exactly how glorification of abortion started.
"It must be so hard to end your baby you are such a victim" , question should be it must be so hard to keep your legs closed and that's the question men will get
@@kingkohli4952these westerns have literally hit an extreme low. The local government made these safe haven box itself shows how the society has stooped low. If your not responsible don't bring a child into the world rather than throwing them or abandoning them. And comment like these justified abortions and hook up culture leading to unwanted pregnancy.
@@kingkohli4952rt i dont get it.
Act of love? Are you crazy woman? Act of irresponsibility and cowardice. Take all the measures possible to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
To be able to take Zoey home TWO DAYS later is amazing! This is a great story!
I imagine this is mostly due to them already having all the paperwork filled out and the visits done. Had they not had all those loose ends tied up I imagine it would have taken a long time. From all angles it appears that baby was destined by God to wind up with them. Praise God for the birth mom, the baby box, the family waiting and ready. It was just meant to be ❤️
It must have been so unbelievable to the new parents, I can’t imagine!
“We needed eachother” Omg im crying!!!! These parents are so sweet. Never bashed the birth mother ❤️
i agree with you . never once bashed the birth mom like a lot our world does. this is emotional happy moment. i wish I could hug the birth mom
What a lovely story she was sent to them
There is a person who will keep this video saved and watch again and again.
She is looking just like the adopted parents. A true blessing.
I hope the biological mom is doing well. She made a difficult sacrifice, especially considering that you don’t know what may happen to the child. And I am so happy Zoe found a family that is so loving. It’s like someone was guiding Zoe to her family.
Absolutely a very special story. Also the family eho can't get children are so happy they can help
I pray that the biological mother is okay. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for her to do this. I hope she has the right support to help heal. ❤
She may do this every 9 months for all you know.
At least she did the right thing, and not dump her in the trash.
What a generously kind comment. I pray for her too.
🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
@@ateiluj08 She also could've keep her and abuse the poor child.
@@BoratM.SagdievPrecisely. No one can possibly know.
She's absolutely beautiful.
How happy she is. Cute doll
To the bio mom, thank you! Thank you for safely and bravely giving your baby the chance to have a happy and loving future.
AMEN to that! And may the BIO mom be blessed and find her way to peace
Bio mom needs to take the pill
@@gmar7836 I am so glad you said that! It is true, birth control needs to be made more available to AVOID these situations. AND the ban on abortion is only going tru produce more of this unfortunately.
Thank you to the girl who left her in a safe haven box instead of worse. She's precious, Bless everyone ❤
May The Lord bring them together.
Fabulous story - hope birth mom is ok and well done new mom and dad
Selling babies hidden behind privacy. Who got the money? It is human trafficking. A baby healty baby can sell for over $50000. This story is fake to get birth mothers to freely give up their babies so private businesses, who convienietly provide these boxes, can hugely profit behind privacy. It is pure evil. It is selling humans. Why wasn't the real mother helped?
And God bless the mother for caring enough to make sure her baby was safe and well taken care of!
She is beautiful
Those two look like the best mum and dad anyone could ever wish for, what a lovely family.
I agree Dave, they certainly do. A lovely family indeed. Makes me wanna holla!! 🤹♀️🤸♀️🎉
God bless her biological mother who did such a selfless and loving act by placing her baby in a safe place where she could be loved and cared for. I’m sure making that choice was probably the hardest she ever made. Bless this baby and her parents as well. ❤️🙏🏾
I agree! Too many times we see desperate women who leave their babies in garbage bins, public bathrooms or other horrible places because they just simply don’t know what to do. That’s why it’s soo good that there are these safe boxes for women to leave their babies in safe places and remain anonymous.
She knows she did the best for all involved now! ❤
Absolutely 💯
She did the legal act. That kept her out of jail and the media.
It wasn’t necessarily selfless or brave or loving. To have to go through something like this in secret is not ideal in any civilized world. We don’t know how the biological parent feels about it.
This couple benefitted from it. The baby has a home.
The person who bore her may not have loving parents.
@@kimhaas7586 she did the right thing, the biological mother was most likely in a tough situation, what else could you do? Its a harsh reality but the biological mother did the safest and best thing for her baby. Not everything is how you make it to be.
Anyone else have tears rolling down their cheeks?
❤oh,the baby looks like their own daughter❤🎉
Beautiful family
Zoe looks so happy. You can tell she feels safe and loved. And coincidentally, she looks like her adoptive mom.
Yes. I feel that the beautiful baby is meant to be with her adoptive parents since in the beginning.
Yes- Zoe has her Mom and Dad. Her belly Mom is one special Momma.
To the biological mother: I don’t know what hardships led you to this decision but I want to commend you for doing the right thing. I hope your situation gets better.
To the adoptive parents : Thank you! What a miracle..! She was meant for you..!!
To say she was meant for them invalidates the birth mom’s tragedy. It’s like saying she was chosen to go through pregnancy and relinquishing her newborn for another woman and denies her pain. It wasn’t “meant” to be. It was a tragedy for one woman and a “miracle” for another. I learned this from our 5-year-old son who was screaming and crying during the run up to his birthday party. In exasperation he questioned “who” the meaner was who so cruelly used his birth mom for such a painful purpose. We had told him the adoption agency endorsed version of the adoption story that focuses on the baby and adoptive parents, calling it magical and meant to be. He came to us as a 4-month-old who was born 2 months premature and had been out of nicu 3 weeks when he came to us, so his grief wasn’t because he knew her and missed her. Our daughter and most kids in our statewide group had similar feelings. So we stopped the magical version and joined him in grief for a teenager in a horrible situation while also celebrating our family. It is possible for it to be both horrible and wonderful at the same time.
So do I because sometimes and for whatever reason you give your baby up and I see all these awful parents who don't even acknowledge their children while they are with them.
Whoever you are bless 😊 you for keeping baby safe.
she resembles them so well cute 🥰
@fannieschannel5451 Just how do you know she even wanted the baby?!
@fannieschannel5451 your experience is not everyone's experience. You have no idea of the circumstances that led this particular birth mother to make the decision she did. And like you said, which completely negates your previous statement, something can be both wonderful and horrible at the same time, depending on who you are speaking to. Saying it was meant to be doesn't invalidate anyone, in my opinion.
With so many negative stories as of late, it's refreshing to see such a heartwarming and positive one. Congratulations to this couple on their adoption of precious little Zoey.❤
Who ever came up with the safe haven idea is being blessed each time a baby is given a life
This baby couldn't have asked for better parents! So glad they all were brought together ❤
Thank God for the biological mother, and of course the adoptive parents. What an amazing story ❤
Yes! ❤
Heart melting.
Definitely kudos to the Biological mother for making the right decision. Listening to this story I was just thinking about the girl in Texas who did that thing to her new baby boy born in the bathroom of the hospital.
@@zingara76 just awful... She could have given him a wonderful home...
I'm sure the mom was heartbroken, but she had to make the best choice for her daughter. Hats off to mom and to the new mom and dad for taking in this precious little one.
That's awesome, some people are meant to be parents, the same as so many that should not be. Great clip.
seeing how much they legitimately want that child is beautiful
I'm so proud of whoever the babies mum is. The decision must have been so difficult at least she put the baby in a safe place ❤
she couldn't take birth control LOL
@@M.S.Y.CMy mom had her tubes tied twice and got pregnant both times. It’s not always as simple as someone not taking birth control.
@@M.S.Y.Cabsolutely no empathy
@@M.S.Y.C how do you know she wasn't r*ped? You don't, that's why you should check the facts before you comment. ✌️
Yes if a father takes tgat decision he is coward
She is so adorable. She had a lot of hair as a newborn. I’m so happy seeing how much mom and dad got their dream come true also. They are going to be great parents. Congrats!!!
This baby will accomplish great things. God bless all of you.
The first hero was the biological mom. As a mother, doing something as sacrificial and selfless as forfeiting your child when you yourself are in crisis is commendable and extraordinary beyond belief. I hope she is granted the peace she deserves.
The first heroes and ONLY heroes are these two human beings that will now give this child what her biological parents did not. The biological mother did the right thing but these two people went far and beyond.
Exactly 💯
@@flower5396 adoptive parents are not always the heroes. My adoptive parents are actually the villains in my life.
Yes so glad she didn’t commit murder and abandoned baby in trash bbygirl is so cute 😭 parents seem genuine
@@flower5396 Let it rest. The mom did a very difficult thing and she is the true heroe for putting her baby in a safe place and letting someone else adopt the child. We do not know her circumstances and the mom did what people should do when uncertain.
We need more baby boxes like this one in the US. This story alone proves that at the very least we need one in every state! Every player was a winner in this story, birth mom, baby and adopters. Imagine a world where this is the norm, instead of the horrific stories most of America has become accustomed to.
People can walk into any hospital or fire station & leave a baby. The boxes are available all around the US. I hope that more women get the courage to leave their baby in a safe space.
@@LAVirgo67 sadly, only 9 states have laws in place protecting baby boxes and the birth mothers. Many states are pushing for legislation for baby boxes after abortion laws changed. They’re AS or MORE important as leaving them in a designated“safe place” because you’re 100% guaranteed 0 interaction with a person or camera and some birth mothers need that to feel safe.
If you ask me there should be one at every fire station & hospital.
@@Nirrrina absolutely, but especially in forced-birth states like Florida that put many pregnant people in crisis.
@aubarb5856 What is "forced birth" please?
Oh my she looks like them now! ❤❤❤ God Bless You Both for adopting this baby 🙏🥰😍 God Bless her too 🙏
Being adopted and my son is a firefighter (actually trained in the same county), this story filled my heart with joy. Blessings to their family. Love, health and happiness to you all ❤️❤️❤️
Kudos to the bio mother for giving that precious girl a happy life. That’s a sacrificial love not many will ever understand…
I concur with your sentiment 100%♡
My niece gv me her daughter to take care of and all the whole family can talk about is how sorry my niece is...I refuse to talk crap because that took sum serious guts
@ericabaysinger6343 Good for your unselfish niece! And I'm happy the baby is still in the family. That should be all that matters! 🫶🏽
@@ericabaysinger6343 🎯❤
The Baby's cute. She's got amazing parents. May God Bless the child
What an incredibly selfless decision her birth mother made. It's very obvious Zoey is not only loved by her parents, but by her birth mother too. She is a lucky girl.
@@666AbbeyRoadI think you should reread the comment. That is not what is being said.
@@666AbbeyRoadLOL, they said "selfless" not "selfish"
@@666AbbeyRoad dork...
beautiful story..❤
I have chills. Thank you EVERYONE for loving this baby enough to save her!
So nice to see a story where things work out the best for all involved! Im crying.
She is truly a gift from God, thank you momma, now the world can see what a gift she is, all because of you doing the right thing ❤ so, so happy for this baby's very patient, and very loving parents
Beautiful how life works. They’ve been wanting a baby and one was literally delivered to his job for him to find ❤ such a beautiful story!
And THIS is why we need baby drop off locations! This is a wonderful story. I adopted my son through foster care and this story reminded me of the day I went to pick him up. I was so excited. I had never met him, never seen a picture of him, all I knew was he was 9 years old, and was my son, and I was finally going to meet him. Fast forward to today, he's 20 years old, a beautiful human being inside and out and I love him more every day. I wish I could have met his biological mother to thank her for her beautiful son, but sadly she passed away before I could. THIS is community. We step in when others cannot, and other times people will step in for us.
Yeah it’s very common in South Korea but in crisis.
Every hospital and fire station/police station is a drop off area!!! If for some bizarre reason it’s not, they will gladly help you find and get to the right spot!!
You are an amazing person for adopting an older child.
💞💝 just wonderful!
❤
You can tell that both of Zoey's adopted parents love her very much just by looking at their eyes when they're talking about her❤️
Blessed and Beautiful.
She was lucky and she is so cute and God blessed the family
I really hope the mother sees this and very proud of herself for the decision she made to save her baby
@@666AbbeyRoad choosing to let her baby live and giving it to someone else is an incredibly selfless and amazing choice.
@davidsharphead4230 such an amazing governor to turn Florida into Gilead 👎 we live in a false meritocracy where the little believees of the haves dictates the deservees of the have-nots.
@@666AbbeyRoad then people complain about abortion. Women just can't win. This world makes no sense 😞
To the birth mom::your biggest sacrifice resulted in someone's answered prayer. You did an amazing thing. Hope you able to find peace in knowing that she is care for and loved.
Awee God bless you and your family shes a beautiful baby To the parents they gave birth to her my Prayers are with you 🙏
Incredible. She's so sweet. God works in mysterious ways all the time.
The biological mother did so so well to carry and nurture and birth this beautiful child. And to place her in a safe place under what must have been very difficult circumstances. God bless her 🙏
Hopefully she's at peace with the decision.
@@kryer981 exactly she did the right thing
what if the biological dad doesn't know and HE would have liked to take care of his daughter? he has rights
what a dumb what if
@@412pgh2 You don't think outside the box do you? There is a biological father in all this. He may not even know. And at some point in this little girls life, through DNA, she will find out who he is and who her biological family is. All it takes is sending your DNA to Ancestry or 23andMe or any of those DNA labs and they will match you with other people in the system. And if he finds out sooner rather than later he has rights to his child. The courts would definitely grant him visitation and he may even be entitled to a custody issue.
The relief the birth mother must feel, seeing that her baby is safe, wanted and loved!! I'm sure she's feeling a whole mixed bag of emotions, but among them must be pure relief and hopefully some peace.
She’s beautiful. Birth Momma did the right thing.❤
I'm glad that the adopting are expressing their gratitude to the biological mother who left the child in the safe haven box, they got their wish and the mother will not have to face any negative backlash. Acknowledging that they are going to do what she could not and that she doesn't have to worry about anymore. this was a for the best and no one had to perish or suffer.
Such a heart warming story with 3 amazing outcomes 1) the birth mother knows her baby will be taken care of and she can move on with her own life 2) a wonderful loving couple who have been wanting a child - have their dreams come true 3) most importantly the baby will be loved and taking care of by her new parents. What a beautiful story!!
To the biological mother who may be watching this. Thank you for not ending this baby's life. Thank you for entrusting her safety to people in the right place. Thank you for taking care of your own emotional wellbeing by doing what was the best thing to do in your situation in the right manner. God bless you.
♥️
Yes. ❤💜💙
If only this were the outcome for *most* children given up. It's not, though.
❤
Nobody kills babies. Infanticide is murder, so thanking the mother and father for not ending her life is a disgusting political lie.
Thank God for loving people like these parents, they are great people.
I am so glad that baby's right to life, liberty and happiness was preserved. She is so precious!
My heart goes our to the biological mom. I cannot imagine the agony. At the same time, I am so very proud of her. I heard a song once that said "From God's arms, to my arms, to yours."
That's a precious quote ❤ Love that. She had to carry her baby for months and give her up, can only imagine how painful that must be. I hope she's somehow able to see this video.
It’s so nice to see a mother actually care about her unwanted baby enough she tries to make sure it gets a family. So many stories have been coming out of women throwing their unwanted newborns in the trash. It’s nice to see a story that has a happy ending for the now very wanted baby :)
It can also be from the mother trying to protect the baby from danger at home, not just because of being unwanted. Sometimes the birth mother very much loves them but doesn't want them hurt. At least I think I remember another baby box story being that way. But yes - absolutely this is so much better than those horrible trash/woods stories that are sick.
After watching several videos of the young woman who threw her baby in the trash and me crying my eyes out, watching this video made me smile with joy and gratitude.
A baby is not an "it" 😒😒😒
I don’t think Zoe should be considered “unwanted”. I think the biological mother just wanted the best life for her.
I don't think Zoey was "unwanted" rather, her bio mom COULDN'T keep her. There's a huge difference!
Such a beautiful loving young couple adorable baby God Bless this family ❤
I wish Zoe’s adoptive parents all the best. They clearly love her so much, and are the best parents for her. Zoe’s birth mom is also the best parent for her, in that moment, because she did what’s best for Zoe and for herself. I hope she is okay now.
“The birth moms are hero’s too” ♥️♥️♥️
thats a lil much. she had a baby when she wasn't ready and handed the baby off.....the right thing to don't? absolutely but not exactly a hero
@@diehardeaglesfansince1994 As someone who was adopted, all I can say is you just don’t get it…
May the biological mother find peace in the knowledge her daughter is loved. Such courage is deeply commendable.
❤ she really looks like them like she was made for them... you're blessed
This little angle is a gift from God to this blessed couple.
To the birth mother, we're proud of you babygirl. I don't judge you,if nobody else told you today,I love you. Yes it's possible to love and be proud of a stranger. Whatever you're going through if anything,I'm praying for you and it will get better ❤
❤️
💚
Amen!

Such an excellent idea to have safe haven boxes. A win-win situation for birth mothers who are ready and for those waiting to be parents.
@eliza4864 churches use to have basket drop offs etc. But with the break down of community and the ease of abortion, some mums feel stuck between very hard times.
@@rebeccaconlon9743this is a better option to abortion and look at this absolutely gorgeous baby. She's a gift!
Agreed, the 'Safe Haven' boxes are a wonderful idea - I live in the UK, and have never seen it done before. A wonderful way to ensure every precious baby is a wanted baby!
This glorious 'happy ending' shows exactly how important such a facility is. It should be rolled out around the world, to benefit all the desperate new mothers, all the beautiful, sadly unwanted babies, and all the loving, childless couples whose arms ache to hold a baby.
@@glamdolly30they exist in the UK. you can hand babies to the fire stations in the UK.
@@bft2840 Abortion should still be available though.
Some women are apposed to the idea of pregnancy as a whole, not just parenthood. It's cruel and inhumane to force them.
That lil girl is a princess and I would have adopted her too without a 2nd thought.
