After more than 60 years, of being estranged from his biological family, a man who was abandoned in a Lancaster phone booth as an infant is about to meet his birth mother.

According to 10TV, a bread man was making his daily delivery to Yielky’s Drive-In in 1954 when he heard a baby crying from inside a nearby phone booth.

And there, inside the phone booth, was a baby in a shoe box with a blanket and bottle.

Now, that baby has grown into 64-year-old Steve Dennis, a retired chiropractor from Arizona.

He told the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette that the way he understands it, his then-teenaged mother was traveling through Ohio after his birth father left them.

Dennis said he was adopted by a good family.

He also said he has reconnected with his birth mother who lives in Maryland and plans to meet her and his half sister for the first time later this month.
