This gentle and incredibly poignant audiobook tells the true story of how one baby found his home.
"Some babies are born into their families. Some are adopted. This is the story of how one baby found his family in the New York City subway."
So begins the true story of Kevin and how he found his Daddy Danny and Papa Pete. Written in a direct address to his son, Pete's moving and emotional text tells how his partner, Danny, found a baby tucked away in the corner of a subway station on his way home from work one day. Pete and Danny ended up adopting the baby together. Although neither of them had prepared for the prospect of parenthood, they are reminded, "Where there is love, anything is possible."

      Peter Mercurio narrates his story of "how one baby found his family in the New York City Subway," a work written to his son. He begins factually, almost flatly, and returns occasionally to this tone as he describes the nonfictional elements of his story such as the various beginnings of other families and the phenomenon of the foster home. These contrast with more emotional moments as Mercurio becomes swept up in remembering aloud to his son. Wonder fills his voice as he recounts the moment his partner, Danny, found the baby. He tenderly recalls the caring judge who united the family with the words "Where there is love anything is possible." This refrain echoes warmly as Mercurio tells his son of "a dream we hadn't dreamt but that came true anyway." S.W. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
