Finally, tonight, one family celebrating their first Mother's Day together, more than four decades in the making.
Tonight in Baltimore, Maryland, a mother and son celebrating their first Mother's Day together. It's a special day. Kimberly Ramos was 15 years old when she gave her son Jason to a private adoption. More than four decades later, she's married with two daughters and grandchildren, but she never forgot about her son.
I resigned myself a long time ago that I was never going to be able to find him because it was a He was closed adoption.
Jason Banward, now married with kids of his own, knew he was adopted but wasn't looking for his biological parents. When his wife gifted him a 23 and me kit for Christmas to learn about his family health history, he saw someone matched as a potential niece. He messaged her and got a response. It was Kim's daughter, Jennifer.
She responded that, I'm not your niece, I'm your half-sister, and I've been looking for you.
My daughter Jennifer called me, started the conversation with, Mom, are you sitting down? The tears just started rolling.
Their first in-person meeting. It had been 43 years since Kim last held her son.
It's unbelievable.
And on this Mother's Day, they're celebrating their first Mother's Day together. Medium-rare restaurant hosting their big day, grateful for new beginnings.
I suddenly had that complete feeling like a hole was filling my heart that I didn't know was even there.
Our world just got bigger and our family got bigger. It's just remarkable.
A very happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Rachael Scott. Good night.
