God prompts a police officer to adopt an unborn baby from a mother he caught about to inject heroin while on duty.
Police Officer Meets Drug-Addicted Woman
On Sept. 23, 2017, Police Officer Ryan Holets met a drug-addicted woman named Crystal Champ on the streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he saw the woman, she was about to inject heroin into her veins. The Officer approached her and discovered that she was pregnant. So, he warned her not to do it because it would surely kill her baby.

Soon, Crystal broke down in tears and told her story to the Officer. Apparently, she started doing drugs in her teenage years. Crystal tried to change, but every time, her addiction came back. The 35-year-old became homeless and got pregnant as she lived on the streets.
God Prompts To Adopt Baby
In the video recorded by Ryan’s bodycam, Crystal shared her frustrations and pain.
“You have no idea how hard this is,” she told the Officer. “I know what a horrible person I am and what a horrible situation I’m in.”

Then she opened up that she “had been looking for someone who could adopt her unborn baby.” That’s when Ryan felt a prompting in his heart.
As a Police Officer, it’s no longer unusual that he would witness things like Crystal’s situation. However, this time, he clearly heard God speaking to him.
“Tell her that you will do it because you can,” God told him.

After hearing God’s voice, Ryan immediately called his wife, Rebecca. Even with four kids already, the Christian couple obeyed God and agreed to adopt the baby.
Three weeks after that encounter, Crystal gave birth to a baby girl. Ryan and Rebecca named their new daughter Hope. And the couple plans to tell baby Hope the truth when she gets older.

Following the adoption, Crystal went to rehab and is now in better condition.
“There needs to be more people like Ryan and his wife and their family in this world,” Crystal attested.
