A Ghanaian man living in the UK has reunited with his mixed-race daughter, whom he gave up for adoption years ago.

Kwasi, who was 25 years old at the time, explained that he had given up his child for adoption when she was a baby.

In a video, he noted that there were various reasons why he gave out his daughter for adoption.

He explained that at the time, people who resided where he lived were very strict on moral issues and were likely not to accept a child born of wedlock. He also feared the situation was going to be worse since he was a black man.

Additionally, he had a lot of ambitions and goals he wanted to achieve, which were likely to interfere with his taking care of his daughter, hence his decision to give her up for adoption.

Despite this, he searched for her in the years to follow and finally succeeded.

Both father and daughter could hide their emotions in a video as they met for the first time since she was adopted.

He said he felt fulfilled about the reunion since that was one of his greatest wishes in life.

The young lady, Ruth, was equally delighted to have met her father. She cried while conversing about how she felt reuniting with her dad.

She also indicated that she had longed to meet her dad and had taken steps to meet him after many years, but to no avail.
