I love this story, it made me cry!!!

LOS ANGELES (AP) – All too often, the ring of Debi Faris-Cifelli’s cell phone means there is another abandoned newborn at the morgue, another forsaken child for her to name and bury in a shoebox-size coffin under a white cross in the California desert.

CHEERS, CHEERS to this beautiful woman and her loving performance of this very special duty. We just were discussing the corporal works of mercy in our 4th grade Relig. Ed. class. I can’t wait to share this article with the children next week.

Good things do happen to good people. She deserves this and much more.

I never heard of this woman or of the safe-haven law. Sounds like she is doing great work. Anyone know if she is Catholic? Are there organizations like her’s in other states? I would like to help!

Does anyone know if there is an update on this story?

Does it matter?
