Adoption Reunion

Jason Paul Lang was born on July 8, 1982. Due to escalating violence and threats from his biological father, I was forced to do the only thing I knew to keep my son safe...I placed him with another family.  Jennifer Kerr was reunited the son she placed for adoption twenty two years before. This is the story of their reunion.

 

On February 23, 1983 my beautiful child was placed into the arms of his adoptive mother.

 

On February 25, 2005 I received a late night phone call. "Which one of my kids is calling at this time of night?" I wondered aloud.  Little did I know.

 

What I remember most about that call is the beautiful deep voice on the other end of the line saying, "The name on my birth certificate is Jason Paul Lang and I think you're my mother."

 

Exactly one week later, in the lobby of a hotel in Baltimore, I held my son for the first time in twenty-two years. This is the story of our reunion.
