Mom reunited with son online
A Utah mom who gave up her son more than 30 years ago found him online. KSL's Courtney Orton reports.
Thirty two years ago,
"I was young and barely surviving."
Terri Fuller put her two-year-old son up for adoption.
"I felt he needed a family. "
Her aunt said she knew a couple who couldn't have kids.
"Then I took him to California, Red Bluff and my aunt, I walked in the door and as soon as we did, she took him and took him to his new family."
It was a day Terri never forgot and always regretted.
"There was still that void of not having him there and I’d often wanted to look for him, but... "
And for years, she did, but it wasn't until she created a profile on MySpace with a note she wanted to meet her son that her luck changed.
"I got on the computer and there was this message. It just says, ‘Hi, I'm Rustin Hawver, H-A-W-V-E-R. I think I am the one you are looking for, the one you wanna meet. Please let me know if I'm wrong.' because I had it spelled as H-A-V-E-R."
Her son hundreds of miles away actually stumbled upon her page because of a typo. He missed the W in his last name while searching for his blog.
"That's correct. She had my name misspelled. If it wasn't for Google or that keyboard being messed up, I would never have found that."
Rustin, now an adult, couldn't be happier.
"It has set my mind at ease, lifted a weight off my heart and allowed me to breathe knowing bits and pieces of who I am as now I'm finally in there. "
"Can’t wait to see him and put my arms around him and let him know that I never did forget him. My heart never forgot."
