A mom was left frozen in shock when her daughters took her to a skatepark and surprised her with her biological son who she hadn’t seen in 18 years. Carmen Santiago initially marveled at the Douglasville, Georgia, skatepark, looking around and saying how she had never been there before. But then, on a nearby ramp, Jeremy Hudson, 22, shouted, "Hey, mom, watch me," before dropping in and riding up to Carmen on his board. A confused Carmen didn’t initially understand Jeremy, but when her daughters - Tara Hammock, 27, and Sophia Williams, 32 - explained who had just shown up, everything suddenly clicked. Carmen could only let out cries of "Oh my god! Oh my god!" before Jeremy headed over to her for an emotional hug he had waited 18 years for.

I love this so much. My story is (somewhat) similar! I was adopted at birth from American Samoa and raised in Melbourne Australia. My adopted parents kept in contact with my mother's side, and I met them all when I was 12. Then, randomly in 2011, I found my father's name in a diary (a relative told my a decade earlier, I wrote it down and immediately forgot about it). I punched it into Facebook, and my little sister came up. Plus 3 little brothers. I grew up an only child in a different culture. Now I have 12 siblings that live all over the world. I'm so thankful to know all of them.
