A newborn baby girl was abandoned in a shoebox at a train station in China a day after her birth, with her umbilical cord still attached. However, growing with the support that she needed to thrive, now 18 years later, she has become an advocate for adoption.
Born on Oct. 28, 2002, and weighing only 3 pounds (approx. 1 kg), Ayden Lincoln was taken to an orphanage as a 1-day-old baby. She then spent 10 months neglected and overlooked in a crib. However, things changed when hope arrived with an adoptive family from Forks Township, Pennsylvania.
