This is the inspiring and “page-turning” (Booklist) true story of a man who discovered that he had been kidnapped as a baby—and how his quest to find out who he really is upturned the genealogy industry, his own family, and set in motion the second longest cold case in US history.

In 1964, a woman pretending to be a nurse kidnapped an infant boy named Paul Fronczak from a Chicago hospital.

Two years later, police found a boy abandoned outside a variety store in New Jersey. The FBI tracked down Dora Fronczak, the kidnapped infant’s mother, and she identified the abandoned boy as her son. The family spent the next fifty years believing they were whole again—but Paul was always unsure about his true identity.

Then, four years ago—spurred on by the birth of his first child, Emma Faith—Paul took a DNA test. The test revealed that he was definitely not Paul Fronczak. From that moment on, Paul has been on a tireless mission to find the man whose life he’s been living—and to discover who abandoned him, and why.

Poignant and inspiring, The Foundling is a story about a child lost and a faith found, about the permanence of families and the bloodlines that define you, and about the emotional toll of both losing your identity and rediscovering who you truly are.

Amazing story but the narrator was terrible. Honestly, he should only be reading children's or fictional stories. It was really not good.

Great story

I loved this fascinating story. Would love an update of any further developments 4 years on

Unstoppable listening

This is a fascinating story but I struggled to finish it as the detail got too intense.

I wanted to find out what happened to him but got bored with his self absorption and kept skipping forward from about chapter 19.

Persistence needed

I found this very disappointing, purely because if is so self centred, and introspective, by someone who had a terribly unsettled start in life but went on to completely disregard his present and lost his way in life looking retrospectively even at the age of 52!
He’s never made peace with his past life and it’s still so important him he’s sacrificed his life to it. I’m sorry he was not more interested in the his family of today, and was/is willing to sacrifice them, to his end. A possibility enjoyable life wasted.

the phone conversation between Paul and his parents destroyed my mascara. I wish him all the best in his continued search for answers.

fascinating, touching story.
