In 1986, a baby was born to a woman who subsequently left her in the bathroom of a Burger King in Allentown, Pa. Workers who opened the restaurant heard the baby's cries, and found her on the floor of the women's restroom, wrapped in a maroon sweatshirt, her umbilical cord still attached. Today, the woman is named Katherine Deprill, and she's married with three children... and she'd like nothing more than to connect with her long-lost birth mother.

So, according to The New York Daily News, Katherine did what most people in this day in age are wont to do when they're looking for a long-lost friend or family member: she took her quest to Facebook. She posted a photo of herself holding up a sign that read, "Looking for my birth mother. She abandoned me in the Burger King bathroom ... only hours old. Please help me find her by sharing my post. Maybe she will see this."

Since posting the photo, more than 14,000 people have shared it, according to HLN. And the reason for Deprill's desire to reconnect with her birth mother? She has three children of her own... and not only would knowing her medical history be helpful for her children, but she would like to know if, perhaps, she has any siblings. "I would like to say thank you to her," she said. "[Because] she didn't throw me away."

On Sept. 15, 1986, Katherine was born and left on a Burger King bathroom floor. The employee who found her said that he noticed a woman in her early 20s, with frizzy brown hair, leaving the restaurant in a 1970s-style car. Despite the publicity the case generated, and after many attempts to find her birth parents, the detectives and others involved in the case were unsuccessful.

Katherine said that she didn't know she was the "infamous Burger King Baby" until she was 12 years old, when her adoptive parents -- Brenda and Carl Hollis, who were well-known for adopting children in the area -- let her know her history.
