Began to ask questions it was then that he discovered the truth his birth mother had abandoned him in a dumpster and his parents were in fact his adoptive parents robin spent his youth and adolescents unaware of what had occurred when he was born when he turned 24 though his adoptive parents decided it was time for him to learn the truth they didn’t want to come between their kid and his natural family so they
Wanted him to know he was adopted in case he decided to find his biological parents when robin discovered he’d been abandoned in a dumpster he was horrified and understandably outraged his adoptive parents were concerned because he felt rejected robin’s parents notified him about his rescue after telling him he’d been abandoned in a dumpster the officer on duty that night saved well in his life

Connected they swapped tales of how their lives had turned out buelda had an extraordinary confession to make at that point he too had been abandoned as a youngster both robin and his adoptive parents were taken aback and realized why buena had taken such good care of the orphan child bueller informed them that his mother had abandoned him and his four siblings she abandoned them to be raised in foster homes and it was at this moment
That bwelner confessed that his own upbringing had been traumatic and that this was one of the reasons he saved robin he couldn’t abandon a child like he had been abandoned robin was grateful and couldn’t express his gratitude to his savior enough both parties were taken aback by the fact that history had mostly repeated itself not only did robin get to meet his hero but it also allowed robin’s parents to
Express their gratitude to officer buellna for saving their adopted son’s life and allowing them to become parents they couldn’t express their gratitude enough and the meeting was also very emotional for them robin on the other hand had a few questions for officer buena since he needed his assistance once more officer buena robin thought would agree despite the fact that he had never met his birth mother robin told buena that
He wanted to forgive her for abandoning him robin considered himself fortunate to have been saved and given a loving adoptive family at home he recognized that his birth mother must have been in a terrible circumstance he requested wellness assistance because he wanted to meet his mother and learn if he had any brothers or sister robin told walner that he’s been looking for his birth mother for years
Officer buena promised to assist robin in finding his biological parents buellna had many more connections as a result of his many years in the police force making it easier for him to start looking for robin’s birth parents buena enlisted the help of other pales after a few months of digging wellness called robin with some good news he had a handful of potential leads and thought he knew who robin’s biological mother was

Meet his biological mother robin obtained diaz’s mexican phone number and made contact with her the phone call was difficult but it provided both robin and his adoptive parents with closure which was vital to both of them although they’ve never met in person it’s uncertain if robin and his birth mother still talk on the phone on a regular basis on both sides it’s going to be a challenging relationship to maintain
