Teresa, with the help of her sister, had tracked down her birth mother. Together they flew to another state to meet Chris. It is an emotional reunion as they hug and see each other for the first time.

For Teresa, reunification has not only shed light on some of her personality traits, but has also brought to her a sense of completeness. The two couldn’t be happier about being able to reunite.
