Son's reaction to adoption book deeply moved New York fathers
A couple who adopted a baby found in a New York City subway station were deeply moved by their son's positive reaction to a book about his adoption. The book, written by one of the fathers, details the extraordinary circumstances of their family's formation. The couple, Danny Stewart and Peter Mercurio, adopted Kevin after he was discovered as a newborn in a subway station in 2000. Kevin, now 24, read the book and expressed immense pride and gratitude for his fathers' efforts in documenting their story. The story of Kevin's adoption has been made into an animated short film. The fathers hope to challenge traditional family structures and inspire others to consider foster care and adoption.
