Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about the emotional moment a man reunited with his biological mother after 42 years of being separated.

Fox 19 reported that the man's search came to an end this year when he landed on his adoption records and started a frantic search for the woman who gave birth to him.

The man named Trevor revealed:

“I attached a baby picture, put on the title of the email my birthday, then sent her the email. I just figured, if this is her real e-mail and she sees the picture and birthday, she’ll know it’s me.”
