Four decades ago, an orphaned teen with a disability became pregnant after five men raped her. Not ready to terminate her pregnancy, she ran away and gave birth to a healthy baby son.

The child was adopted into a loving family at 7 days old, and later in life, at the age of 27, he turned a personal tragedy of his own into the drive to uncover his roots and reunite with his birth mom. Now, he uses their incredible story to fight for the lives of all babies.
