Noel Schlegel

For those of you who don't know, my mom is a nurse on the Newborn Nursery/ Portpardum floor at a hospital in California. On Christmas Day, there was a little baby girl born whose mom didn't want her and wouldn't even sign her birth certificate. She has a deformed kidney and needs some special attention from a Urologist (and if you don't know our little family history, our daughter has had 13 kidney operations).

My mom and Pat (a close, dear friend) tried to get Child Protective Services to wait for Mark and I to get to California. They tried to convince CPS Mark and I would make incredible parents to baby Noel (named by Pat). Of course because we haven't gone through any "system", it was impossible for us to adopt baby Noel.

Pat and my mom put her name on the birth certificate as Noel Schlegel.

I thought it was such a kind & sweet gesture to Mark and I. My mom and Pat are incredible women who are always on the look out for another baby to add to our family! Thanks gals! :)

I hope baby Noel Schlegel is happy, safe & healthy, wherever she is.
