A
California mother and her teenage son have been reunited after 15 years
apart, all thanks to a an old family photograph posted to Facebook.
Before
this week, Hope Holland hadn't seen her son Jonathan since he was 3
years old, when his father kidnapped him and fled to Mexico.
But Hope kept the faith and never stopped searching for Jonathan, who just happened to be looking for her, too.
While Hope
spent years working with child services and private investigators to try
and track down 18-year-old Jonathan, it was a Facebook search that
ultimately led to their reunion.
Last
year, back in Mexico, Jonathan posted an old photo of him and his
mother to the site in hopes that she or his older brother might find it.
And find it they did, this past January. 'I'm happy he wanted to know me,'
Its amazing how social network has helped to bring people together. This is awesome
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for these people. Especially the mother
ReplyDeleteThis is a classic story of lost and found...
