Deliveryman says baby is not his

By
ATLANTA - A deliveryman charged with the abandonment of a newborn baby he first said he found in a downtown Atlanta parking lot now says the baby is not his. <br> <br> Sixty-year-old Eddie Stephens -- who is married -- said Tuesday he had an affair with the child&#39;s mother for six years but says he had not seen her for more than a year when she called him and asked him to take the child. He says he&#39;s ready to take a DNA test to prove the baby is not his. <br> <br> Stephens was charged Monday with abandonment and making a false police report. <br> <br> The baby&#39;s mother -- 34-year-old Jeanette Whorl -- also has been charged. <br> <br> Stephens has worked at Franklin&#39;s Printing since 1975. He told police two weeks ago he found the baby in the company parking lot. He said he saw a pile of towels on a concrete ledge. <br> <br> The baby, named Selena Rena by her caseworker, was given to a foster family last week after spending a week in the hospital for observation.
