Fox News
A Florida firefighter adopted a baby girl named Zoey he had discovered in a Safe Haven drop box back in January. He shared that the baby is a "gift from God," for his family.
The Ocala Fire Rescue firefighter, who remained anonymous, said that in January 2023 he was working an overnight shift when he heard the alarm from the station's Safe Haven drop box. Safe Haven boxes allows someone to safely and anonymously surrender a child — no questions asked. "We locked eyes, and that was it. I’ve loved her ever since that moment." "The way I found her... This was God helping us out," Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a writer on the breaking news team for Fox News Digital. You can reach her on Twitter at @s_rumpfwhitten.
"To be honest, I thought it was a false alarm," the firefighter said. "I picked her up and held her. We locked eyes, and that was it. I’ve loved her ever since that moment."
