Her name was Harper. The mother had chosen a name for her.There was a case on WS recently (last year?) of teenage parents where the father told the mother he was taking the newborn to a safe haven. For all we know that could also be the case here so it is very harsh imo to criticise the mother before we know any details. Unfortunately in the other case the father concealed the baby in a backpack, then shot and dumped it
The military alphabet is:Yeah, it is. If you watch MASH, all the nurses but Houlihan and Kellye tend to be a revolving cast of temporary actors that are called Nurse Able, Nurse Baker, etc.
Now it is. It was Able, Baker, etc. in the 1940s.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.Now it is. It was Able, Baker, etc. in the 1940s.

They’ll have to do her DNA at some point to find her parents. For her to be discovered so quickly after she was born, I don’t think it’s the birth mother that left her in the woods."It was by the Grace of God that we found the abandoned baby girl when we did, before exposure to the cold or any animals caused her any harm," Sheriff Grady Judd said at the time. "She was left in an extremely vulnerable condition, but she’s a strong little girl, and it looks like she’s doing great."

. Excellent outcome. Regarding the mother - I hope DNA identifies her and I hope the police are delicate in their treatment, because I truly do not believe that a mentally healthy mother with maturity (i.e. not 14 years old) and resources (i.e. not getting raped by dad or Mom’s boyfriend and not poverty-stricken) makes the choice that was made that night. So with that intellectual understanding, there but for the Grace of God go I, in terms of emotion and judgment. Baby lived, has a family = partial victory. Untangling the rat’s nest of pain, fear and bad decisions that that led to that night for societal good = the rest of the victory that I hope to see.
I work in the medical field and have seen the last name Lnu before. I really have no idea what the circumstances were for that particular patient, but it's definitely a 'thing' in the med field. In our database every patient needs a first and last name on file for things to work properly, and this particular patient's sample came to us with "LNU" as the last name on all the hospital paperwork. I'm not sure if their legal last name is Lnu, or if that was put on the paperwork by the people at the hospital after they were unable to determine the patient's actual last name for whatever reason.
Lnu = Last Name Unknown
Yes, I know. There was just some confusion as to why she was called Lnu instead of another placeholder last name (like Doe). I was agreeing with the person who said it probably had something to do with the baby being admitted to the hospital.
The surname Doe may have an associated stigma, because, together with the given names John or Jane, Trans, and/or a regional placeholder, it's applied to unidentified deceased individuals. MOO
I think we apply our logically-driven, resourced minds to situations that aren’t and people who aren’t. Of course it violates every element of rational reasoning to abandon a child to die when there’s no-recourse paths to surrender the baby, and I’d argue those paths are even known in these communities. It’s not a rational act. It’s an emotional, limited, poor, probably panicked, not analyzed decision. We think we have made it easy, right? The reality is that even if it was “push one button on your phone and a volunteer human angel will show up within 30 mins and take the baby and you will never be in any trouble” it still wouldn’t work. There is a paralyzing fear and lack of agency. The more we can try to envision that and work on that, the better off we are, societally.
Oh, what a beautiful little girl. Her arms, legs, hair, cheeks, those pretty, big eyes -- she's perfect. And could her adoptive parents smile any wider -- I don't think so!"It was by the Grace of God that we found the abandoned baby girl when we did, before exposure to the cold or any animals caused her any harm," Sheriff Grady Judd said at the time. "She was left in an extremely vulnerable condition, but she’s a strong little girl, and it looks like she’s doing great."
