On Sept 23, 2017, Officer Ryan Holets reached a convenience store in Albuquerque after receiving a call regarding theft. While the thieves had already left, he saw two women behind the store. One of them was injecting a needle into the hand of her partner who was eight-month pregnant.

He reprimanded them for involving in such activities during pregnancy. However, he soon understood that the woman, Chrystal Champs, wants her baby to be raised by a good family. To everyone’s surprise, Ryan offered to adopt the baby and his wife supported him completely.
