Girl Asks Parents to Adopt Abandoned Kid She Found on Bus, Dad Learns Boy Is His Biological Son – Story of the Day

Fifteen-year-old Susan discovered an abandoned toddler on the last bus route of the day and brought him home. Her parents, Margaret and Nicholas, decided to adopt him. Years later, they learned that Nicholas was his biological father, and he had to reveal a shocking secret.

“Oh my God! Sir, stop the bus! That lady left her son here!” Susan yelled at the bus driver. It was the last route of the night because she and her friends had lost track of time at the mall. But Susan remembered a woman that got off at the earlier bus stop and didn’t realize she had left her toddler until he started crying.

“I can’t stop the bus!” the bus driver shouted back, despite Susan’s insistence. She soon realized he didn’t care, but she couldn’t just leave the baby alone on an empty bus. Would the driver do something when he finished the route? Probably not, she thought.

Therefore, Susan did the only reasonable thing she could think of. She grabbed the toddler, who couldn’t be older than two, and took him home.

“Susan! What are you doing with that boy?” Susan’s mother, Margaret, exclaimed when she saw her daughter entering the house with a toddler on her arm. “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know, Mom. Someone just abandoned him on the bus. It was way too cold, and the driver didn’t care. I couldn’t just leave him,” the teenager explained.

“Well, I guess you did the right thing, but what are we going to do now?” Margaret wondered, more to herself than to her daughter. Her husband, Nicholas, appeared in the living room and asked what was going on. They told him, and he also had no idea what to do.

“Let’s just keep him here overnight, and we’ll call the police tomorrow. They’ll try to find his parents, I guess,” Nicholas suggested, and they tended to the toddler. They gave him food and played with him. Overall, it was a pretty fun night as they hadn’t had a baby at home in many years.

“We’ll do the best we can, but sometimes the mother doesn’t appear at all. She probably abandoned him on purpose,” the kind police lady told them the following morning. They called the non-emergency line, and a squad car came to their house to check things.

“What’s going to happen to him?” Susan asked.

“Well, he’ll go into the system just like all abandoned kids. Luckily, he’s young. He might get adopted soon,” the cop said. “We have called CPS, and they’ll be around soon to take him with them.”

The officer left, and Susan immediately told her mom that they couldn’t let the baby go. “Please, Mom. He can’t go into the system. What’s going to happen to him? We can’t just abandon him too.”

“What do you suggest we do, Susan? He’s not our baby,” Margaret said, frustrated.

“Why don’t you adopt him?”

“I can’t do that. It’s a big responsibility.”

“You always talked about having another baby but never did. Maybe this is fate!” Susan insisted, and Margaret nodded to appease her...
