Oh dear! I'm a sucker for adorable stories about love and family and rescuing kids in danger. So I'm posting a link to this story about how someone found an abandoned baby (and 911 thought he was pranking them and didn't send anyone to help) then when he was asked by the family court judge if he would adopt the baby, stepped up to the plate and gave the baby a home, well, you can read about it for yourself

Nothing to do with mermaiding, but I was all teary-eyed after reading it and just had to share it.

WOW. That is a great story! It is indeed very heartwarming. I cannot believe nobody came when they called 911! But all the same, the story ended very well, just like a fairy tale :)

Awww... I like the story as well. Surprising how things work out, isn't it?

I love the fact that it's not just a story about a couple adopting a baby, but a gay couple who also got married by the same judge who handled the adoption. :)

That was actually really cute!
Nice to hear a good story about the judicial system every once in a while xD
