If you ask me this story has a happy ending. The abandoned child got taken to a home with loving parents who gave him a good chance to have a happy life.
Now as far as the kidnapping goes, he is not the one who was taken so that still needs to be resolved but the man can still, should anyway, look back on his childhood and retain the happy memories of time he spent with them.
The DNA might provide an answer as to where he came from, but I wouldn't bet the ranch on it.
