Speaking to BBC, Calvin Barrett said growing up without a mother was tough, and he longed for the day they would be reunited.

Barrett last saw his mother when he was six, and his grandparents raised him and his brother. The 64-year old from the US searched for his 85-year-old mother, Molly Payne, from the UK for almost 40 years.
