New mother surrenders infant to firefighters on Christmas Eve
A 27-year-old mother surrendered her baby girl to firefighters in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve, authorities said Saturday.
She told firefighters at Fire Station 46 that the newborn was just 6 hours old. The firefighters accepted the girl, wrapping her in a blanket. She was healthy and did not appear to have been neglected or abused.
Firefighters named the newborn Noel, in honor of the Christmas holiday, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott.More here: Mother gives hours-old baby girl to California firefighters - CNN.com
In California, a parent or legal guardian can surrender a newborn at fire stations and hospital emergency rooms with no fear of arrest. The law is meant to protect infants from being hurt, neglected or killed.

I am thanking God she didn't deliver her to a dumpster.

Atleast she knew her limits and did the right thing to allow the child to have a chance. So many times they are abused, dumped and left to die. Maybe with the positive press of this and the proper actions of the firefighters, more will have the confidence to do this rather than leaving the child to suffer.
Insert witty comment and disclaimer here.

At communion, when the priest says "Body of Christ", I say "Thanks, I've been working out", then I grab the cracker and run back to my seat

They've got us surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in any direction. Those bastards won't get away this time.
