The story that recently moved the entire Internet is the one that occurred in the United Kingdom, as a man managed to meet his biological mother after 58 years of being given up for adoption.
This is Professor Timothy Welch, 59, who grew up in a home full of love and care because he was adopted by a couple who could not conceive their own children, and although he never felt the need to meet his biological parents, over time he wanted to know his true origin.
The curiosity to meet them arose after their adoptive parents passed away, so one fine day, while going through family photos, he found that their birthplace was in Yateley Haven, Hampshire. By digging on Facebook, she located a group on the social network of people who were born there.
After applying to join the group and tell his story, Penny Green, administrator of that space and social worker, contacted him and explained the circumstances that existed at that time in the United Kingdom with women who gave birth.
It turns out that between 1950 and 1980, The Haven, a home in England, was dedicated to receiving single mothers who, after giving birth, gave their babies up for adoption, for which almost half a million newborns were separated from their parents. in the United Kingdom.
In fact, it is said that they pressured women, especially if they were young, to give their children up for adoption because they did not have financial support, since raising children as single mothers was prohibited. Once Timothy learned of this, he understood why his mother had given him up for adoption, so he did not hesitate to contact the General Registry Office, who provided him with a copy of his birth. It was in this way that he was able to locate his mother, Mrs. June Mary Phelps.
June Mary was 18 years old when she had her first child and gave birth to Timothy, who was taken from his mother’s arms at just six weeks old. That is why this reunion, full of love and emotion, has moved the whole world, since not only did she find her mother, but she was also able to contact her biological brothers, with whom she has shared many details of her life.
In addition, the teacher assures that he feels very lucky to have found them and intends to enjoy them very much. However, he also emphasizes how grateful he has felt all his life to that couple who always treated him with great love.
