Patna: Barely three-days-old, a baby girl lying in the ICU ward of a hospital in Patna has got a new lease of life.

Abandoned at birth, she was found lying in a garbage dump by locals who handed her over to the police.

“We heard that there was an abandoned baby at Kargil Chowk and we rushed to the place and rescued her,” says a police officer, Mudrika Prasad.

The doctors say that her condition is stable now.

As news of this abandoned baby spread in the city, a couple even approached the police and offered to adopt her as their 4th child.

“I have one daughter and two sons. She will be my fourth child,” says the baby girl’s foster mother, Yashodha.

”I saw the baby. She was so beautiful. I came back and told my wife and then we decided to adopt her,” says the baby girl’s foster father, Om Prakash.

Bless all the rescuers and the adoptive family. Notice the father had the idea of adoption and how quickly his wife agreed, what generous hearts!
