Adopted Man Spots Photo Of Woman That Reveals His Past

The bond between a parent and their child is a strong one, as Christian Guerrero and his mother prove. When, as a young woman she gave birth, the new mom made an adoption plan to provide her baby with a better life. Well, the pair are finally reunited after 47 years, and they couldn’t be happier.

Forced Apart

Ever since Guerrero separated from his mother, who wishes to remain unnamed, he felt something was missing. A piece of him was gone that, in time, he knew he had to reclaim. The same could be said for Guerrero’s mother too, who was heartbroken when circumstances forced the pair apart.

Searching For Mom

But even after almost five decades, mother and son kept hoping to meet again. For Guerrero, that search started when he used several different methods to locate his birth mother. And the questing son’s efforts paid off when he saw a photo of a particular woman and knew he had found her.

Long-Awaited Reunion

When Guerrero confirmed the woman in the picture was indeed his mother, he reached out to contact her. Thankfully, she was ecstatic to hear from him, and the pair arranged to meet. All that remained, then, was their reunion, which took Guerrero back to his place of birth. There, he experienced one of the most emotional moments of his life.

Too Young

Guerrero was born in Austin, Texas, at Brackenridge Hospital in June 1972. However, the event was both a joyous occasion and an emotionally shattering one. That’s because Guerrero’s mother was just 14 when she gave birth. As a result, she chose adoption for the baby, so it was also the day the pair had to say goodbye.
