When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind 第5页 共14页
the gate. What neither of us knew, or could have predicted, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son. Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to give an account of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby? ” The question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes. ” “But I know it’s not that easy, ” he said. “Well, it can be, ” assured the judge before barking out orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be. My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without consulting me? ” In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child. I was an ambitious playwright working as a part-time word processor. Danny was a respected yet wildly underpaid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent. We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they wanted to adopt. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper (尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the system and was sure there would be obstacles. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t get attached.
