'I found my daughter on Facebook 29 years after I gave her up for adoption'

A mum reunited with her daughter 29 years after she gave her up for adoption - when the adoptive mum reached out on Facebook with a picture of her baby. Marie Fulmer, 53, gave her four-day-old baby up for adoption after giving birth at age 19 and "not being ready to have a baby".

She never knew what happened to her child, as it was a closed adoption, but says “not a day went by” she didn’t think of her long-lost daughter. Marie went on to have four children - Spencer, 27, Allie, 25, Jackson, 22 and Liberty, 19 - and is married to Clark, 56, a podiatrist.

She kept her daughter a secret for nearly three decades - only telling her parents, two siblings, and Clark. But in March 2018, Marie received an unexpected message on Facebook from a complete stranger, Ann Edwards, who said she was trying to find the birth mum of her daughter, Jamee, 29.
