Meet Benjamin

He Knows His Past

A Fine Young Man

His 20th Birthday

Meeting Mom
YouTube, Good Morning AmericaBenjamin asked who the person was and learned that it was Holly Shearer, his biological mom.
Her Story
Facebook, MountainStar HealthcareHolly got pregnant with Benjamin when she was only 15 years old. She knew she could not give him the life he deserved so she put him up for adoption.
Staying In Touch
PexelsAngela and Brian, who adopted her son, had been sending her updates at first, but when the updates stopped and the adoption agency closed down, Holly lost track of her son until she found his Facebook account.
They’re Workmates
PexelsWhat’s funny about the revelation was Holly was also working at St. Mark’s Hospital as a medical assistant at the hospital’s heart center. She said, “Every morning, I would come in through the women’s pavilion to come into work. So I passed right by the NICU every single day. We parked in the same garage, could have been on the same floor, (and) had no idea that we were so close.”
His Big Family
YouTube, Good Morning AmericaUpon knowing about his birth mom, Benjamin immediately invited Holly for a dinner. Their families met. They had an emotional reunion, and they’ve since spent time together.
