A 3-pound infant left at a fire station, finds a loving home.
In May of 2022, this infant was left at a Louisville, Kentucky fire station wrapped in blanket with a note attached that read, "I love you."
Meanwhile, Chris 43, and Brittany Tyler 37, a couple with fertility issues, had fostered 17 children over seven years, and requested this baby, when he would be ready for a home.
But he first spent several weeks in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), struggling to survive.
Ultimately, the Tylers, adoptive parents of two children, had this foster baby offered to them, and they quickly accepted.

"He was so small and had a feeding tube," Brittany told The Washington Post. But he thrived with the Tyler family.
It grew into a deeply loving relationship, and on December 18, 2023, the Tylers adopted this child, they had named Samuel (Sam).
Sam, who turned 2 in May, has already bonded with his big brothers, Judah 8, and Calvin 5.
"They are good big brothers to him," Chris told The Post. "They love him and they enjoy doting on him."
Sam has also developed quite a personality. "He is hilarious," said Brittany. "He loves to play with the big kids. Anything they're doing, he wants to do it, too."
Sam and his brothers will soon have a sister.
The Tylers have been fostering a medically fragile little girl for nearly a year, a child eight months younger than Sam.
With her complex medical issues, and numerous doctor visits, no-one else stepped up, but to the Tylers, she is a blessing, and they are adopting her.
As for Sam's birth mother, Brittany said, "We hope that she knows he is safe, he is happy and he is loved."
