We found our baby on the subway
Danny Stewart and Peter Mercurio decided to adopt a newborn baby they found abandoned in a New York subway station.
In 2000 Danny Stewart found a newborn baby boy, tucked in the corner of a New York subway station on his way home from work. The discovery hit the headlines, but when no one came forward to claim the baby the family court judge asked Danny if he would like to adopt him. Danny and his partner Peter Mercurio had never discussed raising a child together, but soon found themselves on an extraordinary journey. A longer version of this programme was broadcast on 7th October 2020.
