The state took custody of the child, while officials searched for the boy's parents, who were never found. Later that year, a judge asked the couple if they would like to adopt the boy.

They said yes and named him Kevin. Now 21 years later, Kevin is a senior at Swarthmore College.

The couple even wrote a book about their incredible journey.
