a foundling
Explanation:
an infant or small child found abandoned; a child without a known parent or guardian.\http://www.dictionary.com/browse/foundling

Child abandonment is the practice of relinquishing interests and claims over one's offspring in an extralegal way with the intent of never again resuming or reasserting them. Causes include many social and cultural factors as well as mental illness. An abandoned child is called a foundling (as opposed to a runaway or an orphan). Baby dumping refers to parents abandoning or discarding a child younger than 12 months in a public or private place with the intent of disposing of them. It is also known as rehoming in cases of failed adoptions.

Surrendered baby


Explanation:
Surrendered infant/baby/child

Just an extra option to consider if "abandoned" does not fit your context.



Example sentence(s):
  • A parent who is unable or unwilling to care for an infant can legally and confidentially surrender their baby within 3 days of birth. Babies may be surrendered to any public or private hospital emergency room in California.
  • The law's intent is to save lives of newborn infants at risk of abandonment by encouraging parents or persons with lawful custody to safely surrender the infant within 72 hours of birth, with no questions asked.

neutral  Susan Welsh: "To surrender" a baby (in your examples) is fine as a verb, but it doesn't work as an adjective (in terms of English usage).//I take it back--the phrase is used in the context of a specific law in California. This is not the same as "abandoned." See Googl
