Last night's local (Washington, DC) TV news had a piece about an abandoned newborn being found outside a church. They showed the pastor (a woman) telling what happened. When the baby was discovered, the police asked her *not* to bring him directly to the hospital, but to wait there for them because they wanted to inspect the scene. Then, said the pastor, she called up a member of her congregration who had just given birth and asked her to come nurse the baby!!! And she did!!! And they showed this generous mother, with the caption "Nursed baby" underneath. I was just beaming! Perhaps we are making some progress after all. A happy thought for this Mother's Day.
