A MOTHER was reunited with the baby son she had abandoned two months before.

The Brierfield mother left her 10-month-old son at Valley Gardens, Barnoldswick, with a note saying she could not love him.

After she admitted she was his mum, she was allowed to spend time with him and said: "I still don't understand why I abandoned him. I love him."
