It's been nine months since a southern Kentucky newborn baby was left on a stranger's doorstep in a shoebox.

But soon, that abandoned baby will be adopted.

The nine month old, named Daniel, was found in a Simpson County apartment complex.

He's been in state custody since.

But now, Daniel will be adopted by a woman who is already taking care of three other children with troubled pasts.

Police have still not figured out who abandoned Daniel.
