I am totally confused now. How old was he when his mom dropped him off at a strangers house? Said he was adopted at age 4...how could the the orphanage not know he was a missing baby?? shame on mom..what a nutjob.
The Daily Mail article just keeps quoting what appears to be an upcoming article in People magazine, so there may be more details there. (I wonder if they deemed the mother "found," because once they knew for sure she was the one who took the kid and did so voluntarily, they realized she was never really "missing" in the sense they originally thought?) Given that the kid was listed as missing and was placed in/adopted from an orphanage on the same Hawaiian island that he disappeared from, state authorities seem to have screwed this up big time.
After reading his story I have doubts that his mother was the one who dropped him off. Hmmm.

STEVE CARTER, a 35-year-old from South Philly, is on the cover of this week's People magazine, right next to the news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's engagement.
Carter recently discovered that when he was 6 months old and living with his parents in Hawaii, his mother changed his identity and left him in state custody after she checked out of a psychiatric hospital there.
Carter was adopted at age 4 by military man Steve Carter and his wife, Pat, who eventually moved to Medford Lakes, Burlington County.
Carter's curiosity about his background began, he said, after he read about the case of Carlina White in January 2011. White, of Atlanta, solved her own kidnapping when she found images of herself on missingkids.com.
"She was found in a house where she didn't belong, we were told, and someone called the police and they found her with the baby," Victoria Carter said. "The baby was put in foster care and she was taken to a mental health facility. At that point, she told them her name was Jane Amey, and that the baby's name was Tenzin Amey. She gave a birth date that was one day off."
Baby Steven stayed in foster care for three years while police searched for his father. But because they had been given the wrong name, they did not find him. After three years in foster care, Steven was put up for adoption.
