A story of suffering and altruism, which took place on Christmas night in a mountain hospital in Campania: a mother giving birth to a child in the obstetric and gynecology ward from the Sant’Ottone Frangipane hospital in the town of Ariano Irpino, Avellino and decides that he does not want to recognize him and leave him in the hospital. A choice, we imagine, very difficult, dramatic. We do not know the reasons for the decision, of course we only know that the Irpinia hospital, according to the procedure, has made psychological support available to the woman so that she can reflect on her choice. However, the decision did not change: the little one, according to the procedure, entered the foster lists.
This is a rare situation but absolutely required by law: it’s called “anonymous birth”. In fact, the law allows the mother not to recognize the child and leave him in the hospital where he was born “to ensure assistance and also his legal protection. The mother’s name remains secret forever and the child’s birth certificate it’s written “Born of a woman who does not allow her to be namedThe woman who does not recognize and the newborn are the two subjects that the law must protect, understood as different people, each with specific rights.
Then what happened? The news of the child born on Christmas night and left in the hospital without a father, to his own devices, passed from mouth to mouth and inevitably circled the hospital first and then the town of Tricolle. And so in Ariano Irpino, land of great humanity, word of mouth began to help the newborn. A “solidarity contest” that moved the medical director Angelo fireri. “The child was immediately welcomed with affection – he says – immediately there was the solidarity of many that was manifested with small gifts, such as clothes and everything necessary for such a small child. To the point of being moved when he is gone.
The boy was not alone for long: he has a new family, a childless couple, who rushed to the hospital on Christmas day to pick him up from daycare and take him home after the foster care was completed. However, the family has not yet adopted the newborn.– This is just a temporary situation that usually lasts no more than 8 months. In fact, the child must later be entrusted to the parents or declared “adoptable” by the Juvenile Court.
