Experience: We found a baby on the subway – now he's our 26-year-old son • Hacker News Board

The person finding the baby was the person who eventually adopted him. The judge asking the guy to adopt the baby was the same judge that performed the wedding of the couple doing the adoption. Just so many great details.
