Teen Boy Puts His Newborn Son up for Adoption
Years Later He Accidentally Meets Him
Daniel (17) surrendered his newborn for adoption after Emily—his girlfriend—died in childbirth, his parents pushing the choice. Ten years later, coaching little league at 27 (ex-teacher gig ditched), he met Robert—a kid with Emily’s face staring back.
Gut-punched, Daniel couldn’t let it go. Robert’s mom, Nina, said he was adopted. Daniel spilled his story; they DNA-tested. Bingo—Robert was his.
Nina, cool about it, suggested telling Robert, letting him decide on a bond. Worked out—Robert and Daniel clicked. Bonus? Daniel and Nina got tight, too. Sparks flew, romance kicked in, and they married. Robert scored the full family deal he’d always craved—dad, mom, the works. From loss to lineup, life threw Daniel a hell of a curveball.
