Overview

Certain events in life are so rare they can be freely dismissed as impossibilities. Getting struck by lightning, surviving a plane crash, or winning the lottery. When something shocking happens and doesn't end in tragedy, we say it must be fate, destiny, a miracle, or simply God's will. On the night of August 28th, 2000, Danny called me in a panic. He had just found a newborn baby in a New York City subway station. We didn't know it at the time, but he had also found our family and changed all of our lives. Forever. There is a story about becoming a family, accepting gifts of fate, believing in miracles, finding love in unexpected places, and navigating the surprises, challenges, and joys of unplanned parenthood.
