I can't even begin to imagine what it must have felt like for Starla Medlock and Jeannie Toomey to share in this emotional reunion.
The two have been searching for their mother for as long as they can remember. But that search came to an end on January 3rd.
According to ABC News, the 43 and 42-year-old sisters were born to a Thai mother and an American father in the Air Force whom she met while he was serving in Vietnam. They were married, but divorced after a few years. Their father took custody of them and brought them to the United States. That's when their search began.
For years, their search continued to come up empty. Then they posted a photo of themselves as young girls on Facebook. On December 30th, Starla received a message on Facebook from their mother's current husband. That's when the ball started rolling and the family was FINALLY reunited.
