now to a very special everyone has a story. this one is about finding a family and finding love. a surprising way life can come full circle.

his extraordinary journey. we'll meet him and his family in a moment but first listen to his letter very carefully. >> i was born oneptember 27, 1978. my birth parents were teenagers at the time and in the end my mom opted to put me up for adoption. i was adopted by two wonderful rents. my adopted mom had lupus. she was a soldier and fought the disease as long as she could but it became too much for her to handle. she died in november 1989 when i was 11. life after my mom's death was difficult. for a time, it was just my dad and i. then eventually he remarried and we moved in with his his wife and her daughter. fast forward 20-plus years to a time when i had a son my own. i decided to embark on the journey to find my birth parents. when i reached out to the adoption agency, they told me my mom had left her contact information with them around the time i turned 18. i was ecstatic. i turned to the internet and

had a confirmed match. i knew the minute i saw her picture i found the right person. there was no mistaking the resemblance. our first phone conversation lasted foror urs. but that was just the beginning. my birth mother was able to track down my birth father. they hadn't really spoken or had any contact since they were together as teeneners when i was born. my mom's husband had a pulmonary condition and unfortunately passed away. it was devastating to my mom. my birth father was in the process of separation and as time went on, my mom and dad rekindled the relationship they had when i was born. and then yes, you guessed it, they got back together. they recently even got married. it was comometely surreal for all of us in the most amazing way possible. last year, my birth parents came out to east coast and got to meet my adopted dad for the very first time. it was an incredible and emotional day, one that i'll never forget. sometimes life comes full circle and gives you back more in return than you ever missed the first time around.

>> so patrick is here with us along with his birth parents stephanie and todd ripple. this is unbelievable. >> this is crazy. >> hoda thinks it't'like doing one of her "datelines." >> when you left your contact information after the birth of your son, did you ever -- i mean what was your intent when you left i i do you think back then? i know you were just a teenager? >> i wanted to reconnect. >> you did? you knew that some day -- >> well, i was privileged to have a nurse in the hospital sneak me into a closet with my son before they took him away and let me spend a fewew minutes with him. and i told him one day i will see you again. ;> oh, my gosh. >> and thenn -- and this relationship, so you guys were obviously teenage sweethearts.

like there was no communication between the two of you through the years? >t was kind of a parental insistence there. >> how old were you? may i ask that? >> i was 17 and then 18 when i delivered. and from a very strict religious family. and it was forbidden that we continued our relationship. >> so were the sparks there when you remet? is that what happened? it's so funny. >> for me, it was like 35-plus years just sappeared. >> really? >> the same. >> and patrick, for you, were you thinking, this is just surreal? >> it really was. i mean, i started the whole process in my head, hopes but no expectations. i knew i may not even find them or, you know, may contact them and it wouldn't go any further than that. >aybe they wouldn't even w wt to be found. >> right. so each surprise along the way

whole i went from one side of, you know, realistically knowing i may notver find them to where we're at today so it's just been one complete surprise after another. >> i'm just curious, how was that first hug with your mom? >> well, it was the picture right there whehe we were in thee airport. >> what did it feel like? >> it was eerie how familiar it was. it felt lik you had just said good-bye to someone and they were coming home, you u ow, when you found someone so -- >> wow. i hope we've done this amazing story justice with this song that david and i have written for you. it's -- singing it is a wonderful broadway performer, hunter ryan and stay with us and hear this song. right after this. do you know the secret to a happy home in these modern times? it's a housewife who's in control of the finances. actually, any wife, husband, or human person can use progressive's name your price tool to take control of their budt. and while ththmen do the hard work of making g ney,
