8. I visited a 10-month-old baby I removed from her parents 2 months ago. She used to be wide-eyed, hyper-alert, and constantly crying and seeking reassurance. She’s now a smiling, confident, comical baby with warm, brown eyes who is thriving on the love, care, and attention from her new carers. Sometimes my job is actually worthwhile.
