Use `jobs' to find its job number, then pass the job number to `fg'.
Here's an example:

1.  Start three emacs sessions:

    [johnc@dropbear ~]$ emacs file1 &
    [1] 4077
    [johnc@dropbear ~]$ emacs file2 &
    [2] 4078
    [johnc@dropbear ~]$ emacs file3 &
    [3] 4079

2.  Look at which jobs are running:

    [johnc@dropbear ~]$ jobs
    [1]   Running                 emacs file1 &
    [2]-  Running                 emacs file2 &
    [3]+  Running                 emacs file3 &

3.  Bring one to the foreground using its job number:

    [johnc@dropbear ~]$ fg %2
    emacs file2


Cheers,

John
