Teresa spent her whole life wondering who her birth mother was and why she was given up for adoption 47 years ago.
As a child, Teresa was told her birth mother had loved her but couldn't take care of her – which had left her with deep-rooted feelings of insecurity. But after a new law recently came into effect, Teresa, now married with two kids, was finally able to get her original birth certificate which included her birth mom's name.
In the video below, cameras were there to capture the very first phone call Teresa placed to Chris.
Chris also went on to marry and have two sons and a daughter, but not a day went by that she didn't think about Teresa. Chris had never wanted to give her daughter up, but she was 17 when she got pregnant and could not raise the baby. This reminds me of the remarkable reunion between a mother and her daughter, 77 years later.
Watch Teresa and Chris' incredible reunion below, nearly 50 years in the making. They've already begun the process of getting to know each other, and have even discovered they both like the same foods, they're both claustrophobic, and they both love blue flowers.
