Cathy Brown had no doubt in her mind that her mother was dead. She was only a few days old when her mother put her up for adoption. Although she was quickly adopted by a new family, like most adopted kids, Cathy longed to know where she came from. Whenever she would ask about her birth mother, she was told the same thing every time: her mother was dead.
Cathy had found her biological father six years before, and even he told her that her mom was gone. Then one day, 40 years later, she gets a phone call from a woman — a woman looking for the baby she had given up decades before. The reunion you're about to see, like Fred and Tawana's, is a tearful, emotional one. Shrouded in 40 years of secret family history, in 2012, a mother finally gets what she had wanted all along: her baby back.
"Is it really you?!" Cathy says bursting into tears, embracing the woman she thought was dead. "Yes," her mother responds, and it's like they've gone back in time; Cathy, a small child in need of her mother's nurturing warmth.
What Cathy didn't know? Her mother, Kathleen Millon, gave her up in 1972, not because she wanted to, but because her father forced her to. Her husband was a criminal and after he had been arrested, the pregnant mom had to move back in with her dad who didn't approve of the baby. It was a decision Kathleen would always regret.
See the emotional moment mother and daughter reunite below and please SHARE if you can tell these two are going to make up for lost time!
