Since 2017, three newborn babies have been found abandoned in the same area of London. Now, DNA tests show that they are siblings, according to British media. This year's coldest evening, a dog walker found a newborn girl at a crossing in eastern London. The baby was wrapped in a towel in a shopping bag with her umbilical cord still intact. According to hospital staff, who later gave the girl the name Elsa, it is believed she was no more than an hour old when she was found on January 18 this year. Now, DNA tests show that the girl is a sibling to two babies who were found under similar circumstances in 2017 and 2019, according to the BBC, citing documents from the family court in eastern London. Elsa's siblings, known as Harry and Roman in British media, were also abandoned in the same area shortly after birth. Roman was wrapped in a towel in a bag, Harry just in a white blanket. All three babies are reported to be doing well. The two older ones have been adopted, and Elsa has been placed with a foster family, according to the BBC. According to the court, they will learn of each other's existence and have contact during their upbringing. The biological parents of the children have not been found.
