She was cleaned up, wrapped up, and fed by her mother. However, it\u2019s the shocking moments after this that changed the course of her life.\u00a0Mired in an extramarital affair, Hill\u2019s biological mother was the only person who knew she was pregnant. She was determined to keep it that way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">While her husband was at work and her stepchild was at school, she secretly gave birth in the bath tub. After feeding her baby and wrapping her in a towel, she put her in the car and proceeded to drive around town, wondering what she should do next.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">She ultimately chose to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abandoned-dumpster-20-years-ago-finally-meets-rescuer\/\">place her newborn baby girl in a garbage bag<\/a>, tied with a double-knot and placed in a dumpster outside of a medical center in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">It was a cool evening in October 1995. The dumpster was full and was scheduled to be picked up the next morning. Hill\u2019s story could have easily and quickly ended right there in that dumpster. However\u2014providentially\u2014a nearby construction worker named Garold \u201cRocky\u201d Hyatt heard a noise as he threw away some debris.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">What Hyatt did next saved little Morgan Hill\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cHe heard a noise, heard it again, and saw the garbage bag move,\u201d Hill told Pregnancy Help News. \u201cHe went into the medical center and said he believed there was a baby in the dumpster. The nurses ran out. One of the nurses, Carol Szafranski, picked up the bag, opened it, and found out it was a baby girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The medical team rushed Hill into the medical center and named her \u201cMary Grace,\u201d since they considered her a miracle from God. Over the next few days, law enforcement used surveillance footage to track down Hill\u2019s birth mother and, eventually, her biological father as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">As the story spread across news outlets nationwide, Hill\u2019s biological father won a hard-fought battle for custody. But, already a single father, he eventually placed his baby girl into the hands of an adoptive couple he\u2019d come to know and trust.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_180121\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180121\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-180121 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rocky-holds-baby-Morgan-with-the-hospital-staff-after-he-found-her-as-a-newborn-in-the-dumpster-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"No one knew Morgan's mother was pregnant.\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rocky-holds-baby-Morgan-with-the-hospital-staff-after-he-found-her-as-a-newborn-in-the-dumpster.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rocky-holds-baby-Morgan-with-the-hospital-staff-after-he-found-her-as-a-newborn-in-the-dumpster-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rocky-holds-baby-Morgan-with-the-hospital-staff-after-he-found-her-as-a-newborn-in-the-dumpster-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-180121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rocky holds baby Morgan with the hospital staff after he found her as a newborn in the dumpster.

At her high school graduation party, her niece made an off-handed comment that led Hill to press for the full story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">For the first time, Hill\u2019s mother shared with her the heartbreaking first hours of her life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cOver the 18 years, she\u2019d kept a binder full of article clippings from newspapers, online, and pictures as well as records of my biological mother that she showed me to explain who I was as a newborn and what happened to me,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI did reach out to different places to find the people who cared for me as well as my biological father, and my mom was so supportive and so helpful with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Hill was able to connect with her birth father\u2014who had kept the same cell phone number for 20 years in hopes that she would call him one day. In 2016, at 20 years old, Hill met with a news reporter who helped reunite her with the first responders who saved her life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">(Read more about that reunion\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kshb.com\/news\/woman-thrown-away-and-left-to-die-as-a-baby-meets-her-rescuers-for-the-first-time\"><b><strong>here<\/strong><\/b><\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cChrista\u2014the news reporter who surprised me with this\u2014she kept my attention by having me read one of the articles my mom kept and she asked me to repeat the construction worker\u2019s name, which I did, and then all of a sudden she tells me that he just walked into my house,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI turned around and just burst into tears. I\u2019d been looking for him for two years and didn\u2019t have any luck. But they went through the trouble of finding him and flying him out to meet me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Meeting Hyatt and Szafranski was a turning point for Hill. During their conversation, Hyatt gave her a commemorative golden angel pin the Department of Children and Families had given him on the last day he held her, when she was just three days old.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Hyatt had held onto the pin for 20 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cI wear that pin as much as I can and have it with me wherever I go,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI look at Rocky like my guardian angel. He\u2019s the one who saved my life. He doesn\u2019t believe in luck. He believes that God gave him this opportunity. That God wanted him to find me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cThat has changed my perspective so much because at the time of hearing my story for the first time, it made me think what a horrible world we live in.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_180118\" style=\"width: 535px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180118\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-180118 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-note-from-the-hospital-staff-reads-that-newborn-Morgan-was-found-in-the-dumpster-wearing-bink-booties-witha-sweater-and-blanket-525x700.jpg\" alt=\"No one even knew Morgan's mother was pregnant.\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-note-from-the-hospital-staff-reads-that-newborn-Morgan-was-found-in-the-dumpster-wearing-bink-booties-witha-sweater-and-blanket.jpg 525w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-note-from-the-hospital-staff-reads-that-newborn-Morgan-was-found-in-the-dumpster-wearing-bink-booties-witha-sweater-and-blanket-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/A-note-from-the-hospital-staff-reads-that-newborn-Morgan-was-found-in-the-dumpster-wearing-bink-booties-witha-sweater-and-blanket-500x667.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-180118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A note from the hospital staff reads that newborn Morgan was found in the dumpster wearing bink booties with a sweater and blanket. Photo courtesy of Morgan Hill.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><b><strong>On a Life-Saving Mission<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">With a renewed perspective following the meeting with a handful of people who\u2019d saved her life, Hill has become an advocate for state-level Safe Haven laws that are meant to give women in her birth mother\u2019s situation a way to\u00a0<b><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pregnancyhelpnews.com\/safe-haven-laws-plus-one-courageous-momma-saved-little-chase-s-life\">safely relinquish<\/a><\/strong><\/b>\u00a0their newborn babies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Since the first Safe Haven laws were first enacted in individual states in 1999, birth mothers have rescued over 3,527 newborns through Safe Haven laws. In that same stretch of time, 1,393 babies were abandoned nationally\u2014 more than 750 of whom died before they were found, according to statistics kept by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalsafehavenalliance.org\/\"><b><strong>National Safe Haven Alliance (NSHA)<\/strong><\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cMorgan\u2019s story touched my heart, I cried, I smiled and I thanked God for the people that found and saved her,\u201d NSHA executive director Heather Burner said. \u201cI think her story offers a unique perspective from a young woman that has been raised by a loving family and knows her father and his love, but her story is so very rare and I think God can use it for something good.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cHer close call became a miracle of life for her, her father, her adoptive family and I think a woman in crisis may hear this and choose life over different alternatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">For Hill, the Safe Haven laws that have come into existence since her birth offer a ray of hope for expectant mothers who are too scared to tell anyone about an unplanned pregnancy. Rather than abandoning their babies, mothers can bring their newborns to a Safe Haven location, including hospitals in every state.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_180119\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180119\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-180119 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Morgan-looks-at-a-photo-of-her-as-a-newborn-when-she-was-found-in-a-dumpster-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"No one even knew Morgan's mother was pregnant.\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Morgan-looks-at-a-photo-of-her-as-a-newborn-when-she-was-found-in-a-dumpster.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Morgan-looks-at-a-photo-of-her-as-a-newborn-when-she-was-found-in-a-dumpster-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Morgan-looks-at-a-photo-of-her-as-a-newborn-when-she-was-found-in-a-dumpster-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-180119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Morgan looks at a photo of her as a newborn when she was found in a dumpster. Photo courtesy of Morgan Hill.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In Illinois, where Hill was born, a person can take their child up to 30 days old to a hospital, medical center, a staffed firehouse or a staffed police department. Laws vary from state-to-state, and one reason NSHA\u2014which runs a hotline (1-888-510-BABY)\u2014exists is to provide\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalsafehavenalliance.org\/maps\/\"><b><strong>updated information<\/strong><\/b><\/a>\u00a0on where mothers can go in each state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cAt the time that this happened to me there wasn\u2019t a Safe Haven law,\u201d Hill said. \u201cBut now that it\u2019s passed, so many babies have been saved. It makes a big difference that the Safe Haven law has been passed. So many lives have been saved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">While Burner, Hill and others celebrate the lives saved through Safe Haven laws so far, there\u2019s plenty of work to be done\u2014particularly when it comes to making women aware that the option exists to safely, anonymously place their baby into the arms of first-responders and medical personnel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In fact, during one five-day stretch this February, four babies had been found dead in dumpsters throughout the U.S.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">With her story to tell, Hill is on a mission to get the word out about Safe Haven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u201cMy main reason for speaking out is to show that there\u2019s help out there\u2014that no one\u2019s alone,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI don\u2019t want any other child to be put in a dumpster like I was.
