Chance is an 8 lbs. 7 oz. newborn baby boy who was abandoned by his mother shortly after birth. She left her child in the care of paramedics at the local fire station, as allowed by state law. She declined medical attention for herself and said the infant had been born just several hours earlier. The baby was brought to the hospital for examination. While nothing is known about the mother's prenatal care or the delivery itself, Chance appears to be very healthy and is feeding well. He will be discharged to Child Protective Services within 24 hours.
