Reunited at last! Brothers meet after 60 years

Martin Hauser was put up for adoption by his biological parents in 1962. He went on to get married and start his own family, only to feel an urge to find his biological family and reconnect. 

After several attempts at searching for ways to find out his ancestry, he eventually found help from the Children's Home Society. They found a name in connection with Hauser, Joseph B Shaw Sr.

Reunions such as these leave us feeling grateful. Hauser encouraged everyone who has been adopted to never give up on hope and shared these emotive words with his brother: "I never gave up on finding you... I'll never lose him again. Promise!"
