: "I don't use the term miracle very often but in a situation like this I think it's 100% appropriate. Mama squirrels will often adopt orphans and knowing this, I took a chance with a little one I have been struggling with for the past few days and I was hoping having him adopted by a wild squirrel would help ensure his survival. This isn't something I do a lot of because raising babies isn't easy for any mother and the last thing I want to do is overburden a mama squirrel. However, in this case, I think the little one has much better odds of survival now. Thank goodness for small everyday miracles and the kindness of a mama squirrel."
