When Cheri and Keith learned that Cheri was pregnant, the young couple was still in high school trying to figure out life.

Knowing that they were not ready to handle the responsibilities of parenting, the two made the tough decision to put their son up for adoption.

Cheri was heartbroken with the realization that she would never hold her infant. The decision would stay with her for the next 44 years until a miracle happened.

At the young age of five months, Kevin was adopted by a family who could not conceive children on their own. Kevin's adopted parents were always honest with him about his adoption. When he was older, he decided he wanted to learn about his biological parents.

As a happily married adult, Kevin used an online ancestry kit at the urging of his wife. At about the same time that Kevin's DNA information was registered in the database, a man named Larry was also using the kit.

Because the DNA profiles of the two were so similar, both Kevin and Larry received a notification saying that it is possible that the two could be cousins. Knowing the full story, Larry was able to figure out that Kevin was his nephew.

When Larry called Kevin to deliver the shocking news, he did so with Cheri and Keith in the same room. Kevin then learned that his biological mother lived right down the street from him and was ready to connect.
