Why did the Trojans accept Paris back?

Question

I just learned that Paris was exposed as a baby (left outside to die).

How did he survive? If he was exposed, why did the Trojans accept him back as their prince?

Paris survived with Agelais help on the Gargarus by the mountain Ida. He returned to Troy when Trojans prepared games with bulls, and won.

Source-Robert Graves,The Greek myths,chapter 159.,Paris and Helena.
