Nurse Adopts the NICU Preemie Who Didn’t Have a Single Visitor for 5 Months


Sometimes motherhood finds you in surprising ways. That’s the lesson many people are learning from the story of a nurse in Brighton, Massachusetts, who adopted her daughter after the premature baby was under the care of her hospital for five months without a single visitor. Gisele is the light of Liz Smith’s life, and the devoted mom is sharing their unique and heartwarming adoption story with the world.Smith first saw her daughter’s bright blue eyes in 2016, when Gisele was being treated at her hospital for neonatal abstinence syndrome.
rounds of IUI, which didn’t work. She also was devastated to find out she couldn’t try in vitro fertilization; her lab results had changed and that disqualified her for IVF, so her insurance company wouldn’t approve the procedure.

“I never imagined becoming a mom would be a challenge,” she said, according to Boston.com. “It’s a desire you can try to push away and fill with other distractions, but it never goes away.”

But when she saw Gisele, she immediately knew there was a connection.

“Since the moment I met her, there was something behind her striking blue eyes capturing my attention,” she said. “I felt that I needed to love this child and keep her safe.”Once Smith made up her mind, she spared no time in making her intentions official.

Smith quickly put in a request to foster the baby girl, and as she waited for the paperwork to process, she would visit her every day after work. She would speak softly to Gisele and sit next to her crib so she’d no longer feel alone.
