“More than 1,000 people have sought to adopt a newborn baby girl found dumped in a plastic grocery bag in Forsyth County, Georgia, earlier this month even as authorities continue a search for the child’s birth mother.”

“‘It’s amazing the number of people who are looking to take on a new life into their families and we got somebody who tried to throw one away,’ Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman told the "Today” show. Alan Ragatz and his three teenage daughters found the little girl — unofficially called Baby India — in a wooded area near their Forsyth County home around 10 p.m. on June 6. They told WSB-TV 2 that they believe God put them in the right place at the right time.“

"The sisters recalled that on the night they found baby India they initially heard a strange cry from the woods.”

“‘We went down, pulled it up. There was a poor little baby wrapped in a plastic bag, and we called 911,’ Alan Ragatz said. ‘She was alive. She was crying, so we figured that was a good sign. Could have been worse. The credit goes to my girls. They were the ones sticking with it.’”
