She cares for babies


The Atlanta JC paper has the story of Margaret Freeman, who "adopts" and buries children found dead after being abandoned by their parents.

“This is the kind of stuff that you could never imagine happening,” Freeman said. “But it has happened.” A self-appointed mother of the dead, the Covington retiree said she “adopted” the child afterward and gave him a name – Angel Baby Harrison...."

Instead of a nameless state burial, Freeman arranges a full funeral with the help of a local undertaker and cemetary owner.
