Brazilians rush to adopt baby found floating in bag
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Dozens of people mobbed a hospital in southeastern Brazil on Monday hoping to adopt or just catch a glimpse of a 2-month-old girl found abandoned in a plastic bag floating in a lake, authorities said.

The Odilion Behrens Municipal Hospital had received more than 100 offers to adopt the infant, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Crowds have mobbed the hospital in Belo Horizonte, about 300 miles north of Rio de Janeiro, ever since the baby’s rescue Saturday was filmed by an amateur video cameraman and broadcast on international television.

2. Oh, the irony.
Do you know what they do to abandoned children who live on Brazilian streets?

I hope my information is dated, I really do.
