Chelsea Zeleny-Floro and her husband of The Woodlands, Texas, already had a daughter and a son with autism when they adopted a baby girl in 2016. They had their hands full with three kids, and certainly never expected to take in one more baby, that is, until they saw a desperate plea on Facebook.

“Child waiting in hospital for 2 1/2 months, can’t find placement, has no femur bones and is considered medically fragile,” the post read, as Zeleny-Floro recalled. “The hospital says he has just a few more days until they HAVE to discharge him due to space.”
