GLENVILLE, N.Y. — Seven years ago, Nick Delpopolo took a family trip back to Montenegro, the country where he was born. He met a young man who had lived with him at an orphanage — and still lived there.
The boys were not yet 2 years old in August 1990 when nurses at the orphanage in the town of Bijela took one of them out of their shared room — the towheaded one named Petar Perovic — and presented him to Dominic and Joyce Delpopolo. The couple, from Westfield, N.J., had come to adopt a baby.
