Child abandonment

Newborn baby girl estimated to have been born just an hour before she was abandoned

Among the rescued were eight children, with the youngest being just 30 days old

An abandoned baby was found last night in the capital's Lyulin neighborhood. The baby is about 7-8 months of age and in good health.

The baby was found in a child car seat with a note - "Give it to the social. Good luck!". She was taken over by the services and housed in the St. Ivan Rilski Home for Social Care in Sofia.

Nearly 2000 babies were abandoned in Bulgaria during 2014, the main reasons being poverty and problems in education.
