I did a search on this child (disappeared in 1955) and didn't find anything. If there is a thread, please feel free to delete this.

This 2 year old disappeared from Long Island NY. The article is interesting and the man claims he started searching for his real family after him "Mom" told him things about himself when she was in the hospital.

Barnes' search for the people who could be his biological family began last fall when he was apparently told something by the woman who'd raised him, Greer told ABCNews.com.
Greer said that in a phone call to Pamela Horne, Barnes said his mother was in the hospital and on medication when she blurted out the information that started his search. Barnes looked intomissing children that matched his description. That's when he found the Damman family.
On Oct. 31, 1955, Steven Damman was nearly 3 years old when he and his baby sister, Pamela, disappeared from a sidewalk outside a Long Island store while their mother was inside.
Pamela, then about 7 months old, was found by a family friend in her carriage around the corner from the store. Steven was never seen again. The family eventually moved from Long Island to the Midwest. Their parents divorced and their father, Jerry Damman, remarried.
This is another article about the boys father:

Jerry Damman and his wife, Charlotte who is not Stephen Damman's mother said they believe the Michigan man might have stopped by their farm last fall.
The missing child's sister also got a visit from the same man, they said. "She looked at this guy, and he looked like Jerry," Charlotte Damman said.
I hope this man and this family get the answers they deserve!
The DNA test ruled out the match, IIRC.
