I went to my friends birthday party shes turning 17. She had a unexpected baby she didnt know she was pregnant wow. She had a very small baby boy. I hold the crying baby in my arms I ask my friend if she wants to hold her baby and she says NO I dont want nothing to do with the baby you take care of it! What ! Yes its yours  its your problem now get that thing away from me! Frightened I drive to the hospitle I watch as they work on the little baby boy. I feel so guilty that his mother refused to take care of him and refused to be called his mother.They hand me the baby they asked me less questions then I thought they would. I drive back home. Not knowing what to do with the poor little guy I sit down with him in my arms  I stroke his soft little head and start singing to him I sing him the song my mother sang to me when I was a baby and I couldnt stop crying. I keep singing so softly then he stops crying I remember what my friend said "you take care of it yes its yours its your problem now" I look at his soft gentle face I guess your mine then what do you say.I countinue to stroke his head and sing till he falls asleep I go into my laundry room and get the small wooden laundry basket and fill it with a pellow and a small blanket I lay him down and cover him in the blanket. I take him into the living room and try to think of names hmmm I cant deside so I go on cafemom to find a boy name on the name finder I find the name Alexander and I fall in love. I deside to name him Alexander

Wow, what a story. What's going to happen to his mom? Is she crazy? What are you going to do with this baby? Be blessed for taking care of this baby so far.

    WOW- What a day is right! If you plan on keeping him in your care; it would probably be a good idea to talk to a lawyer to make sure Social Services can't come in and take him or something- I have no idea what happens in cases like this- Saying Lots of Prayers for you, Alexander and your friend too- Wishing you the best!

Get legal rights to that child if you want to keep that child because at any time that mom can change her mind, and take that baby right out of your hands and you can't do anything about it.
