I had a young lady grow very fond of me since I work at her OB/GYN office. She is young and looked at me like a big sister. She went into early labor and delivered a beautiful baby boy. I was there for delivery and I work close to the hospital so I go to the NICU often to visit him and see how he’s doing. She has been discharged and the nurses tell me she hasn’t come back since. She gave them my number as her number and I’m also her emergency contact so when they call her, they are calling me. I’m taking it as a sign that she wants me to keep him. She text me finally and said she is too young and scared but doesn’t want him to go into the system and wants me to have him. But can I? Has anyone have any stories on assuming care of an abandoned NICU baby? Will they discharge him to me so he can come home with me when he’s ready to leave?
