"Typically, women who abandon their infants are motivated by fear of how their parents, boyfriends or husbands will react, a fear so compelling, experts say, that abandonment appears to be the only feasible option. Some have been victims of rape or domestic violence. Many are children themselves in profound denial, causing them to put off confiding in anyone until it is too late, and then to discard the infant, as if by doing so, they might convince themselves they had never really been pregnant at all. ``We are willing not to judge a woman,'' said Jaccard, a 52-year-old paramedic who started the Ambulance Medical Technicians Children of Hope Foundation: after finding the body of a full-term baby floating in a courthouse toilet in Nassau County, N.Y.
