Michigan ? The same chubby cheeks. The same round face and bright, blue eyes. And, most important, the faint scar on his chin.

John Barnes does indeed bear a striking resemblance to photos of a 2-year-old boy who was snatched from outside a bakery on New York’s Long Island in 1955. And he hopes DNA tests will confirm the suspicions he’s harbored virtually his entire life — that the couple who raised him were not his biological parents.

“I’m really glad that I’m finally finding all of this out, finding out who I’m related to. Because I didn’t want to get old and die and not know,” Barnes, a laborer who is now in his 50s, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The idea Barnes was kidnapped five decades ago has “flabbergasted” the family he has known for his entire life. Asked about a possible abduction, the man who raised Barnes called the idea “a bunch of foolishness.”

“I’m his dad,” said Richard Barnes, who shook his head and replied, “no, no,” when asked by a reporter if he had kidnapped John Barnes.
