From a New York woman who learns of a brother she never new; to a sister who never gave up on her brother who disappeared in Vietnam; to a pregnant teenager who turns to the mother that gave her up at birth for advice on whether to give up her baby for adoption, we learn the ties that bind families can persist over decades, and thousands of miles.
The ties that bind families can persist over decades of time, and thousands of miles.
First, a young woman living in New York had always felt a part of her life was missing. Then, her parents told her of her brother, given up for adoption before she was born – a son for whom they had desperately searched, to no avail. But a chance meeting 3,000 miles away shows that family ties are never broken.
Also, a sailor disappears from a ship during the Vietnam War. The Navy brands him a deserter, but his sister never doubts his innocence. It took 30 years for her to discover the truth, and to finally restore her brother’s honor.
Then, a teenage girl is pregnant and struggling with the question of whether to give up her baby for adoption. When she turns for advice to the mother who gave her up at birth, the solution offers a surprising, and joyous, take on exactly how family roles are defined.
