Deorick Williams had just returned from an out-of-town trip and decided to take a nap at home in Bainbridge, Georgia. About five minutes later, he was woken up by a text a message that someone was having a baby.
Slightly disoriented from the lack of sleep, he started getting dressed to visit the newborn… that’s when it hit him. He didn’t know the person who sent him the message!

“I didn’t realize it was somebody I didn’t know,” Williams told BuzzFeed, then added: “And I started getting dressed to go.”
When he didn’t recognize any of the numbers on the thread and replied with a polite text telling the group they had the wrong number.
“After they sent a picture, I was like that’s definitely wrong number,” he said.

“Since we got invited already we thought we might as well give them gifts,” Deorick said.
The happy family was thrilled to see these total strangers so happy about their newborn baby and welcomed them into their room.
