This is David Stevenson, who was abandoned outside a flat in London when he was just a few days old.

As he stood before the red brick mansion where he had returned after 49 years, he tried to imagine what could have happened that day, way back in 1960.

Holding back his emotions he walked those corridors where his mother must have walked, carrying him her arms for the last time, clinging him to his bosom, and then abandoning him forever, never to see him again.

He gazed at the cold concrete floor, outside flat no 39, where he was found by one of the female officers Wpc Tegwen Curl

I t was the 15th of December 1960. The police station at Golders Green received a call at 5 pm on a cold winter evening that a newborn baby was found abandoned in West Health Court.

For him his life begins at this point. From the time he was taken in the safe custody of officer Curl.

On receiving his adoption papers in 1990, he tried to explore his identity. He went through all the newspaper reports published at that time and was surprised to find that he had shared the front page with President John F Kennedy. He was nicknamed “rainbow baby” by the ‘Daily Mail’, because of his colored clothes.

He could not find his parents, but when he held his child to his bosom, he felt the warmth of a blood relation for the first time in life.

Today David Stevenson, a software product manager is a happily married man, who lives in Watford with his wife and 3 sons.

At his wife’s insistence he traced Mrs. Curl. It was a tearful reunion. She is like a mother to him now.

Many of his questions are left unanswered, yet David is amongst those lucky ones who were taken care of.

He holds no grudges against his mother except that he feels a little incomplete.

David just a piece of advice from our side why waste your time looking for someone who did not need you. Instead live for those you love you and need you.

Blood is not always thicker than water!
