Couple to Fight for Baby Adoption Hope after Abandoned Infant
Police traced an abandoned four day old baby left on 837 Walnut Ave as Mona Elmendorf and her husband Gilbert, both seeking to adopt, offered to take in the child. Det Insp James Thiele said detection efforts found no mother. The baby appeared healthy and was found with diapers and a warm bottle. Local hospitals checked with no clues. The Elmendorfs, distressed by their inability to have children, wished to adopt the infant, but officials warned of a long waiting list. The case remains open as investigators pursue leads.
