Many women look forward to finding a life partner and having a child.
According to Statista, “as of 2018, a little less than half of all women in the U.S. were childless.”
They have reported that in the same year, 15 percent of women between the ages of 40 and 44 had no children.
Below is a heartening story about one couple’s little miracle.
Lorraine, a two-time breast cancer survivor, knew she couldn’t have her own children.But that didn’t stop Lorraine and her husband Charles from dreaming of having a child together. Then something extraordinary happened. A blessing!
A newborn baby was found in a pick-up truck.A college student in Tallahassee, Florida, heard something strange on a cold morning in May. It was coming from the parking lot of their apartment complex.
The noise was immediately recognized by the student as a muffled baby cry. She discovered the infant alone and scared, with a soiled diaper.
The college student called the police and they thought the baby was only a week old.
The baby, who later received the name Charlie, was rushed to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital’s emergency room.
The respiratory therapist who would change his life was waiting for him at the ER.
“I assessed his breathing, his, you know, oxygen. For the most part, he was fine,” Lorraine shared to Humankind.
“Cold, hungry, wet, but… he was fine.”
Lorraine saw this as more than just a routine procedure.
When she cradled Charlie in her arms, she felt a special bond with him.
“I believe I became his mommy, that moment, that day.”
She was certain she wanted to adopt Charlie.
After four days, the abandoned baby arrived at his forever home.
“It’s just been amazing. I mean… he’s my miracle, my angel. He’s… all my prayers been answered,” Lorraine mentioned.
Lorraine and her husband Charles had been praying for a miracle for many years.
“This is what I’ve been praying for for years,” Lorraine said.
“Mine too,” Charles added.
However, the first week having Charlie was challenging for them, especially for Lorraine.Lorraine had been part of raising her stepchildren. Being a mother to a newborn, on the other hand, was novel.
