Description
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.

Critical Reviews
"This incredible first-person account documents the mind-blowing surprises, coincidences, and moments of sheer luck that led to the men to adopting the baby and giving him a loving home. It's a must-read for anyone who's been told that a home is incomplete without a mother and a father."
"There's much to learn from the author's candid account of his initial doubts about becoming a parent, and the open communication between him and his partner."
"The book does a splendid job of tying the personal to the political by weaving legal developments related to marriage equality and adoption into the narrative."
- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This book-so exquisite in its pure, plain telling-plumbed the human condition from the mysterious to the gritty and back again."
- Susan Silverman, author of Casting Lots: Creating a Family in a Beautiful, Broken World
"A page-turner about fate, faith, and unconditional love...If you've ever loved a child, or been one, this book will move you."
- Michael Lowenthal, author of The Paternity Test
