He did not “take” the ABANDONED BABY, as in KIDNAPPING it. He RESCUED A BABY THAT HAD BEEN DISCARDED AS “UNWANTED” - BIG DIFFERENCE! When you find a living creature (human or animal), that is in obviously need of Life’s’ basic needs, the first thing you should do is to make sure that they have no injuries, then get them warmed up, fed and cleaned up, THEN you address its’ other issues, seek who left it castaway. The guy in this story did just these things by instinct. He felt the same thing to PROTECT the innocent baby, and since no one came forward seeking the abandoned infant, he normally took care of him and became emotionally attached.
I'm sorry, but I can't get behind John keeping the baby for 9 years without trying harder to find its family. Sure, he saved the baby, but to raise a child that isn't yours without even seeking out its parents is not heroic. Even if he loved the boy, does that make it okay to take someone else's child just because it makes him feel better about his past loss?
Powerful hearth felt story,and a very good ending.Thank you for sharing!!!

Maybe you would better love it if he turned his back on the child. What a Hateful thought.
Let's give the Man some credit he found an abundant baby and care for him has his own he is a hero
I commend this man❤
