The true story of how one dad found a baby on a subway platform, and how that baby became his son.
One evening in a New York City subway station, Danny notices what looks like a bundled-up doll on the floor near the wall. It's a newborn baby, alone, and Danny calls for help right away. What he doesn't expect is that months later a judge will ask if he and his husband, Peter, would like to adopt the little boy they can't stop thinking about. This is the real story of their family beginning in the most unlikely place, told by one of the dads himself.
It's true, and that changes how a child hears every page. A baby found on a subway floor could be a scary start, but the book carries it so tenderly that what your child comes away with is how a family got made out of a chance moment and a whole lot of love. The two dads are simply the parents in a true story, which is exactly why it lands, no case to argue, just Peter telling how he and Danny got their son.
