“Can someone adopt the baby, please? This baby is destined to live, probably born into the wrong family. The mother looks mentally ill, so let’s not judge. She might be a victim of ra.pe or something else. Let’s just get medical checkup for the baby and put her in safe hands. God bless the man who rescued the baby❤️.”
