“I wasn’t at all expecting my brother, who I had lived with for my entire life, to be my biological brother,” said Vicky Laffin, 19, about her brother Frank, 20

At the time, the Laffins had their hands full with their two sons and had already decided they would not adopt another child.But when Angela heard that one of the three babies was found in a hospital bathroom on Staten Island, she suddenly reconsidered their decision. She called her adoption agency to ask for more information. As soon as the caseworker confirmed the baby was a girl, “just like that, I said ‘I want that baby.

Both Frank and Vicky described their childhoods as loving, supportive and fun. While Nick learned about his siblings’ harrowing beginnings when he was a teenager, Angela and Dennis decided not to share the details with Frank and Vicky just yet, thinking they could process it better when they were older.

For the most part, Frank and Vicky rarely asked questions about their birth stories, their mother said. A few months ago, though, Frank was flipping through one of his father’s file folders, looking for a document, when he found a newspaper clipping from the day he was born. He quickly connected the dots.“I dropped my face into my hands, and I started to cry,” Angela said. “He was not supposed to find out like that. I was waiting to do that gently.”
