A Santa Rosa Police Department officer recently welcomed a new baby girl into his family after responding to a pregnant woman’s need for help. The woman was looking for a home for her unborn baby girl and Officer Whitten, already a father of three girls, took her in. The adoptive father and the birth mom befriended each other while the officer was on patrol.
“We developed sort of a friendship in a strange sort of way,” Officer Jesse Whitten told KTVU. “Whenever I saw her on patrol and dealt with her, we’d have a conversation.”
On Thursday, a Sonoma County judge made the adoption official, approving the adoption of Harlow Maisey Whitten, now 6 months old.
The Santa Rosa Police Department celebrated the adoption, writing on their Facebook page, “Not long ago, while Ofc. Whitten was working he met a pregnant woman needing help. She didn’t ask for assistance the way a typical call for service goes, she was looking for a home and a family for her unborn baby.
Ofc. Whitten, the proud father of three girls already, opened his heart and his home to this baby. And now it’s official! After a moving adoption hearing, she is a part of Ofc. Whitten’s family. Congratulations, Whitten family, and welcome, baby, to the SRPD family!”
