Son Surprises Biological Mom At Skatepark After 18 Years Apart

A mom was left frozen in shock when her daughters took her to a skatepark and surprised her with her biological son who she hadn’t seen in 18 years. Carmen Santiago initially marveled at the Douglasville, Georgia, skatepark, looking around and saying how she had never been there before. But then, on a nearby ramp, Jeremy Hudson, 22, shouted, "Hey, mom, watch me," before dropping in and riding up to Carmen on his board. A confused Carmen didn’t initially understand Jeremy, but when her daughters – Tara Hammock, 27, and Sophia Williams, 32 – explained who had just shown up, everything suddenly clicked. Carmen could only let out cries of "Oh my god! Oh my god!" before Jeremy headed over to her for an emotional hug he had waited 18 years for.

Mad respect to the family that raised him and made sure he KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD why his biological mom did what she did.

"Oh My God, You're Beautiful!" Is the first thing she says when she realizes he's her son, that's so sweet 😭💙

Mom was right. What a beautiful son.. a blameless soul.

This "kid" has more forgiveness in his heart than I'll ever have. This kid is somebody I can look up to and learn from.

“I just love her”…could he be any more understanding? he’s such a sweet guy. Bless his heart. Now he has 2 families that love him. The Universe worked its mysterious ways. So lovely!!

Congrats as well to his 'adoptive parents' for raising him right. Great attitude, beautiful heart and soul. Fine young man.

[bsoz]

What a terrific young man!
He was raised so well by his adoptive family to be appreciative and respectful of his birth mother!
He has the memories with his birth mom and continues to love her.
What a great young man. Much respect.

Not everyone has the financial means to raise a child, but the best parent always thinks and looks for what's best for the child.

Some adopted children resented their biological parents because they believed they were abandoned (for no reason). He has such a mature mind that he understands the situation his family was in previously. And for that, I applaud him. Kudos to his foster family for taking such good care of him and raising him so well.

[alexrodgers]

You not only made your biological Mom proud, you made your adoptive Mom proud. I guarantee both hearts are full! Shalom to y’all!

That childlike hug he gave her was emotional… that hug came from that little boy years ago who wanted to see his family again.

[TheSportsPROgram]

This kid is just a great person ....instead of resentment, he has nothing but empathy and compassion for his mom.

[safespacebear]

gosh his foster parents did an amazing job to keep him so whole with the experiences he had as a little guy.

[Joeladgra]

Jeremy turned out to be a fine young man and it shows. What a nice story!

[blessingsoutlaw]

Let’s all pray for a world where moms don’t have to give up their children for financial reasons. How sad.

[samantham]

I cried so hard when mom said : ‘Oh my god, you’re so beautiful’ 😭

[lumenesque]

How proud she must be that her baby boy has grown into such a wonderful young man 🦋

[alisonchristodoulou]

What an amazing young man! Mature beyond his years. Thank you for sharing your story.😊
