<\/p>\nAfter decades of seeking, an adopted woman discovered her mother through a DNA website and Facebook, allowing her to meet her grandma only days before she passed away. <\/p>\n
Rachel Ruiz has always been aware of her adoption. She received a handwritten note from her biological mother for her future daughter on her 18th birthday, <\/p>\n
in which she expressed her wish that they would one day meet. But the material was scant, insufficient for an effective web search. <\/p>\n
\u2019I didn’t feel that I needed to discover the solutions to complete myself, but I’m very glad I found my biological family,\u2019 the speaker said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Years later, the now-35-year-old visited ancestory.com, where she found her grandfather’s obituary and the information she needed to locate her birth mother, Angie Howard. <\/p>\n
Finally finding the 52-year-old woman on Facebook, she recognized her right away since they resembled each other so much. <\/p>\n
She received a happy response from her birth mother via a Facebook message on Christmas Day. <\/p>\n
Just in time for Rachel to meet her grandma, Mary, Angie’s 91-year-old mother, the two were reunited while, coincidentally, dressed similarly. <\/p>\n
Photographer Rachel described it as \u2018like a missing piece.\u2019<\/p>\n
Her parents had planned to give her the present when she reached 18 ever since they had adopted her at the age of two weeks. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018She made me this gorgeous crocheted blanket, and they had it. When she was born, she was given a lovely gold <\/p>\n
baby ring and a message that read, \u2018You were with me for nine months.\u2019 I hope to see you again someday. I will never forget you.<\/p>\n
Rachel also received adoption documents, which said that she was born in Louisiana with the last name Deveraux despite several areas being blank. <\/p>\n
Despite the fact that her Facebook search turned up no relatives, an obituary appeared. There were six kids total, including three daughters. <\/p>\n
Because of Angie’s age, she approached her.<\/p>\n
She took a while to open my message; I believe it was lost in her message requests because we weren’t close.On Christmas morning, she had responded when I awoke. I immediately broke down in tears. <\/p>\n
She responded, ‘I can’t believe it’s you, you’ve found me, what a miracle,’ after I sent her a copy of the letter she wrote to me. <\/p>\n
\u2018I had the discussion printed out and showed my parents.\u2018We were all really affected by it.\u2019<\/p>\n
The mother and daughter have been communicating daily since Christmas till they finally met as adults one month later. <\/p>\n
Rachel recounted, \u2018I could see her drive up and my heart was thumping out of my chest.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u2019As she arrived at the front step, she removed her coat and dropped her purse there. \u2018I can’t believe it’s you, she said as she gave me the largest hug. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Looking in the mirror, that’s how it felt. She resembled a more mature version of me. She even had comparable style to mine; she was wearing a crop top tee, wide leg denim, and Converse.<\/p>\n
My husband’s jaw dropped to the ground. That was like watching two clones, he claimed. <\/p>\n
After engaging in hours of conversation, Rachel and Angie went to visit Rachel’s grandmother Mary, who passed away three days later. <\/p>\n
It appeared to be her last task in life. I visited my cousins, aunts, and uncles at the funeral. <\/p>\n
