Description

About the Book

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.

Book Synopsis

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.

Review Quotes

"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
