Mom reunites through Facebook with son she gave up for adoption

After spending a year searching for the son she gave up for adoption 20 years ago in phone books, adoption registries and on the Internet to no avail, a friend suggested searching for him on Facebook.

Lori Hass said she recognized the son she gave up for adoption on a Facebook profile photograph.

"When my friend told me about the search tool and I typed in my son's name, Travis Sheppard, I couldn't believe it when I saw a photo of him," she said.
