2 Babies Abandoned on Christmas Listed in Good Condition
Two babies abandoned on Christmas Day--one after his mother gave birth and left a Baltimore hospital and the second in a parking garage at a Sarasota, Fla., hospital--were reported in good condition Tuesday.
Officials in both states said the boys would be placed in foster care if their parents could not be located. A young couple who found “Baby Nicholas” in the hospital garage said they want to adopt him.
The 6-pound, 2-ounce infant nicknamed “Noel” was born in Sinai Hospital after a woman walked into the Baltimore hospital early Sunday, gave birth under a false name less than an hour later and left the recovery room, officials said.
Steve and Robbi Carroll, who have been married for 13 months, found “Baby Nicholas” wrapped in a patchwork quilt in the parking garage at Sarasota Memorial Hospital and took him to the emergency room.
The infant, hospital officials said, was several days old and weighed almost 7 pounds.
