I agree with everything you say Bo, but the part you said Judd was adopted. Judd wasn't adopted out. There was a fire at the hospital and the nurse to keep Judd from being killed. Took him from the hospital and raised him as her own not telling Judd until she was her death bed that he was a Duke and not her son. Luke's mom and dad had always thought that he died in the fire. That's why they never looked for him.
