The phone rang at Heartbeat's Option Line. Anastacia answered, eager to listen and counsel the caller on the line. Nothing could have prepared her for what happened next.
Lori (age 18) was on the other end of the line. Lori had just given birth to a baby girl alone early that morning. Now she was calling from outside of a hospital in NYC where she planned to leave the baby but she didn't want to be seen. Desperate for help, Lori called Option Line.
Anastacia asked Lori how she was doing and if the baby had been fed. Lori answered that she didn't have milk and didn't know how to breast feed. Anastacia could hear the 
baby "cooing" over the phone.
It was now early evening, many hours after Lori gave birth, and the baby was in dire need of food and medical attention. Anastacia instructed Lori to stay put while she called for help. Through Option Line's connection to Safe Haven in NYC, the baby was rescued and admitted to the hospital within a couple of hours.
Later that evening, a representative from Safe Haven called Anastacia to let her know that all was well and the baby was doing just fine!
