Your daily dose of positive news: A Utah man and his birth mother were reunited after 20 years — and learned that they work at the same local hospital
In 2001, at just 15 years old, Holly Shearer got pregnant with a baby boy named Benjamin.
"When I was about five months pregnant is when I decided that I was going to place him up for adoption," Holly said."And that's when I started to pursue a family to pick for Benjamin.""When I handed Benjamin to them, it was the hardest decision I've ever had to make," Holly said. Although it was a closed adoption, Holly and Angela kept in touch, but only until the boy turned three."My favorite day of the week was Thursdays because I could go pick up my pictures and just to see what he was doing that week," Holly added."We talked about Holly quite a bit, whenever he would ask questions," she said.
Angela told FOX 13 News on Friday about the unconditional love she has for Benjamin's biological mother and the sacrifice she made at just 15 years old to put him up for adoption.
