Man left in alleyway as an infant searches for birth parents: Part 1

After his adoptive parents died, Bill Gillespie, now 53, began digging in his past and he was not prepared for what he found.

He respected his adoptive parents enough to wait until they passed! They should be proud! His parents raised an honorable family man

[eneri]

I love his kids and how sensitive and supportive they are

[andreroestenberg]

Amazing story. Great that father and daughter can share in the moment and help his journey

I'm so happy for him, he reunites his family. God bless him and God bless to all the people make this happen.

My Daddy FINALLY adopted me at 36 yrs old! It's NEVER TOO LATE to show your kid how much they mean to you! EVERYONE needs to belong to someone!

I bet when his kids were born he held them so tight!!!

[davcuts]

Turns out his birth father had shot and killed a policeman. His mother abandoned him to keep him safe from his father.

[joannedeckers]

Wow, what a amazing story. Was so happy for both, of the brothers.

[doreenmaclean]

This story sure grabbed my heart💖. I hoped both parents were alive, but he does have family, to finally meet💙💙. Best wishes, with your journey. What a wonderful person, this woman is, helping others find peace💜.

I can't imagine your loneliness growing up. God loves you and you are so, so special.

[Littlething]

Thirsting for Part 2!!!! Oh the agony!!! What a sweet supportive daughter by the way!

[ddivincenzo]

Whatever the circumstances were behind his abandonment, I am glad he found a loving situation.

[VictorSchelsinger]

Thank God indeed for the love in the heart of strangers!

[hihopes]

Thanks for posting Part 2 in comments below. He looked so much like his mom. A happy ending.

Catholic Charities in Tampa did my first ultrasound with my oldest son, for free, and I'm not even Catholic. I was married so I was no longer on my parents' health insurance, but my husband was in basic training, so I was in limbo insurance wise. They were very kind.

This reminds me of "Long Lost Family", which is one of my favorite TV Series - both the UK & US Versions.

It's so disappointing when the end is cut off

DNA testing is amazing. Now, no deadbeat can hide.
