(Original Air Date: 05/23/06) Imagine being 10 years old, going to the park with your mother and sister and before you know it, you're alone and must fend for yourself. Michael was abandoned at a park carousel 22 years ago, and life as he knew it ended there. He has never stopped searching for his mother and sister, but he's been unable to find any trace of them. When Dr. Phil connects him with a private investigator, his whole world changes again. See what happens when he confronts the woman who abandoned him more than two decades ago. Will he get the answers he's looking for? Was his mother searching for him, and is she the same woman he remembers? Michael also learns some shocking news about his sister. Then, Dr. Phil surprises Michael with two women who never gave up their quest to find him. And, meet the amazing people Michael now calls Mom and Dad. Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

08/10 Abandoned

Quote From: shahnster

If his aunt Betty knew his name and the state he was abandoned in how could she NOT have found him? That makes no sense. It seems that simply coming forward as a family member of an abandoned child would be all that was needed. I mean it was no secret what this child's name was. And surely the authorities were looking or at least interested in finding this child's family. I don't get it. The boy's name and state should have been more than enough information to find him. That simply makes no sense.

The reason my family could not find him was because he was given a false name by his mother.  I was looking for someone with an entirely different name than the one he using at the time of his disappearence.   My sister hid her crime on so many levels that it was impossible to find them. Unfortunately, you the viewer only got a small glimpse into the whole picture of this case. There was a whole side of this family. My mom looked for them for years; however, she was looking for their real legal names. My sister gave birth to both of her children under false names. This was a missing person case for my family. I have to watch my mother slowly die and not know what happened to her oldest daughter and grandchildren. Their disappearence took a toll on my mom and her health. We lived across the country from them at the time of their disappearence and when we called the police they basically would tell us that there was nothing they could do because my sister was an adult and could leave on her own. Beside she was living under one of her alias' at any given time.  She knew what she was doing and tried everyway she could to hide.  I hope this makes sense to you now.
