We Found Our Son Kevin In The Subway (Danny and Peter)
The story of how Danny and I were married last July in a Manhattan courtroom, with our son, Kevin, beside us, began 12 years earlier, in a dark, damp subway station.
Danny called me that day, frantic. “I found a baby!” he shouted. “I called 911, but I don’t think they believed me. No one’s coming. I don’t want to leave the baby alone. Get down here and flag down a police car or something.” By nature Danny is a remarkably calm person, so when I felt his heart pounding through the phone line, I knew I had to run.
When I got to the A/C/E subway exit on Eighth Avenue, Danny was still there, waiting for help to arrive. The baby, who had been left on the ground in a corner behind the turnstiles, was light-brown skinned and quiet, probably about a day old, wrapped in an oversize black sweatshirt.
In the following weeks, after family court had taken custody of “Baby ACE,” as he was nicknamed, Danny told the story over and over again, first to every local TV news station, then to family members, friends, co-workers and acquaintances. The story spread like an urban myth: You’re never going to believe what my friend’s cousin’s co-worker found in the subway. What neither of us knew, or could have predicted, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.

of love. What a beautiful story of love and family. 
I cannot stop smiling and tearing up. 
There IS good in the world, and these men and that judge personify it.
for posting it!
I'm going to put it on Facebook. 
he wrote
"I spoke to my older brother who never attending university, but had always been my hero. He agreed that the human condition is often, perhaps usually, dark, but then he told me something I've never forgotten.
He told me that, perhaps, the best we could hope for were moments of brilliance, moments of extraordinary compassion, but that was enough to give us hope."
And so it is, so it is.
Thanks Grits!
Read the whole thing folks. K & R 
Oh hell, that's the same thing.
So beautiful!
How rare is it when the exact right thing happens? Couldn't have happened to a better couple.
.... it appears before my eyes here on DU. Thanks, A_g_g.
Hope, love and justice in one fell swoop. You can't beat that with a stick.
That is beautiful.
Made my night. 
May all of you always be blessed with happiness!
I love this story.
