Christ day "Gift from God" baby infant found discarded in Chiang Mai orchard

A tiny baby girl just born was found battling for life in a cold Chiang Mai orchard on Christmas Day.

 

Now the man who found the pitiful little infant has said he is prepared to adopt her.

 

He said that it was "good fortune" and was "like a gift from God on Christmas Day.

 

The story reported by Sanook has been shared widely on social media after a video clip of the infant - barely alive in 15C temperatures and covered in ants - appeared on Facebook on the "Aping Ping" page.

 

Ping Sae-hor, 29, told Sanook that she went with her elder brother to their longan orchard in Arunothai village of Chiang Dao and found the baby wrapped in a cloth by a banana tree.

 

She was about two or three days old with a drying umbilical cord. She was struggling to breathe but was still just alive.

 

They rushed her to a clinic but as they did not have enough equipment they then took the infant to Chiang Dao Hospital. She was later transferred to San Sai hospital where she is still in ICU but improving.

 

Ping said that if the parents of the child can't be found then her brother is prepared to adopt the child. He said that it was good fortune that they had found the child and seeing as it was on Christmas Day it was like a gift from God.

 

They are visiting the child regularly and her brother is paying all the hospital bills as efforts are being made to locate the person or people who left the child in the orchard.

.....Ping said that if the parents of the child can't be found then her brother is prepared to adopt the child........

 

 

It probably would be better for the infant to be adopted anyway.... parents must have been in real big troubles to "discard" their baby born in that horrible way.

I really hope the baby can fully recover.

This is a  very sad post but maybe in the future it will have a bright outcome.

 

I can't imagine how awful it would be for  an adopted person under these circumstances  to  eventually learn  how they came to be.  I certainly hope the best for this infant.

 

I edit to add  that it's sad there was no awareness of the parents (mother naturally) for any agency for help.   That is  thankfully not yet available in Thailand.   Gosh, that would turn Thailand into a "Nanny State".

Makes you wonder if the mother is feeling anything at all.

He's not Buddist then.

No, God isn't Buddhist. That's obvious.

Since most of Thais don't celebrate christmas being just a normal day in Thailand, I doubt the accuracy of this article, unless it was a sheer coincidence that the person who found this baby was a christian!
