Years After Adopting A Baby In Infamous Fashion, This Couple Exposed Her Wild Past

Decades ago, patrons of a Burger King in Allentown, Pennsylvania, had their evening upended when they heard a strange sound coming from the restroom: a baby wailing. And sure enough, when they went to look they saw a baby all alone — no parent in sight. Fast forward 30 years, and that little girl was now an adult. She’d grown up in the care of a foster family, never knowing the truth about where she’d come from. Until one day, that is. Suddenly, everything clicked, and her adopted parents had to make a drastic move.

An interrupted meal

On September 15th, 1986, the fryers sizzled, the drive-thru speaker barked, and the kids got their happy meals at the Allentown, Pennsylvania Burger King. Workers and satisfied customers thought it a typical afternoon — until they heard shrieks in the bathroom.

No parent in sight

Only a baby, they knew, could produce those piercing wails. The Burger King crowd politely minded their business, thinking, "ugh, that parent's got their hands full with a fussy child." But as the clock ticked, the screams never quelled.

Manager steps forward

The manager on duty went to investigate. From the moment he opened the door, the cries, no longer muffled, filled the restaurant. He knew something was terribly wrong.

All on her own

Wrapped in a sweater, the red-faced baby was lying on the floor beneath the sink. With no sign of a parent or responsible guardian, the manager realized the child was abandoned. Judging by her looks, she was just a few hours old.
