Thanks to Kentucky’s Safe Haven Law, a baby boy surrendered at a fire station has finally been adopted by a loving family! Chris and Brittany Tyler always wanted kids, but had trouble conceiving. So, they started looking into foster care, instead. When they heard about the infant who’d been dropped off at the Louisville Fire Department, they knew they wanted to bring him home.
According to the New York Post , Sam weighed about three pounds when he was discovered by firefighters. His mom left a note explaining why she needed to surrender her baby at the fire station. She made it clear that she was doing this out of love for her child. Since the state’s Safe Haven Law allows a parent to legally and anonymously give up their baby at specific locations, she hoped to offer him a chance at a better life.
Chris and Brittany were more than ready to give Sam just that! They had already provided a caring home to 15 other foster children, two of whom they’d adopted: Judah, now 8, and Calvin, now 5. They wanted nothing more than to do the same for the Safe Haven baby who’d been surrendered at the fire station.
