After calling the police, my husband Justin and I decided to foster and eventually adopt the baby, naming him Tom. Life was tough but fulfilling until Justin passed away when Tom was eight.<\/p>\n<p>When Tom turned 13, he found adoption papers and learned the truth about his origins. He wanted to find his birth parents, so we began searching, but had no luck.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Ellie revealed that she knew Tom\u2019s birth parents\u2014Alana and Alex\u2014and that Alana had left him on her porch.<\/p>\n<p>I contacted Alex, who had no idea he had a son, and he agreed to meet Tom. This led to an emotional reunion between father and son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One night, I found a crying baby on my neighbor Ellie\u2019s porch and discovered she had no idea where he came from.
