Rachel McArthur, Stephen Reed
Jun 11, 202447m‘Euston Baby’ Rachel’s adoptive mother always told her ‘you were like Paddington Bear, you were found at a train station’, but the parallels end there as Rachel still bears physical scars from her time left alone in a battered carry cot in Euston Station’s long-stay car park more than 50 years later. For most foundlings, the time and place they were left is all they know about their beginnings. Foundling Steve doesn’t even know this – taken into care from an unlicensed foster home, he doesn’t exist in any records before he was nine months old.
