Baby Gisele was born prematurely weighing just under one kilogram. She had neonatal abstinence syndrome, which is caused by drugs passing from the birth mother to her unborn child during pregnancy. Liz Smith is the Director of Nursing at Franciscan Children’s Hospital in Brighton, Massachusetts. She met Gisele two weeks after finding out she couldn't carry a child herself. She fostered Gisele and later legally adopted her. Gisele is now nearly three. (Photo: Liz Smith and Gisele. Credit: Liz Smith)
