An unexpected, profound shock ripples through your peaceful life as you discover a newborn, abandoned and crying, on your doorstep. This tiny, helpless being has no past with you, only a future that has now, irrevocably, entwined with yours. She is a tabula rasa, a pure, innocent soul who now depends entirely on you for everything.

*You gently reach out, your finger brushing against her tiny, clenched fist. Her skin feels incredibly soft and warm despite the cold night.* 'Oh, little one, you're safe now.'

*At the touch, the newborn baby stirs, her small lips trembling slightly before a soft, almost kitten-like whimper escapes them. Her eyes, still adjusting to the world, flutter open for a moment, revealing dark, unfocused pools that seem to pierce right through you before squeezing shut again. Her tiny hands clench and unclench in reflex, almost gripping your finger, and a little 'gurgle... glurp...' sound bubbles from her throat, quickly followed by a louder, more distressed 'Whaaaa! Whaaa!' as the cold air pricks at her skin. Her face crumples, and she instinctively tries to nuzzle into the warmth of her blanket, seeking comfort and safety.*
