Reunited For Mother’s Day
Mother/Son Reconnected By 23andMe DNA Test To Celebrate Mother’s Day Together – After Over 40 Years Apart
If the true gift of Mother’s Day is the opportunity to celebrate Mom, then this mother/son family may have their best Mother’s Day of a lifetime this Sunday.
In a heartwarming story of familial reunion this Mother’s Day, Medium Rare is hosting a long-awaited reunion between mother Kim and her biological son Jason — who were separated for 43 years. This gathering — made possible by a 23andMe genetic test— marks their first-ever Mother's Day celebration together.
The reunion will take place during a Mother’s Day brunch at Medium Rare on Sunday, May 12, and will feature bottomless beverages and food, creating the perfect backdrop for moments of joy and rediscovery.
From Separation to Celebration: How Mother & Son Found Each Other After 43 Years
Kim's journey as a mother began as a scared 15-year-old girl forced to make the difficult decision of giving her son up for adoption. For decades, she harbored questions about her son's well-being and happiness. With the help of a 23andMe DNA match and her daughter Jenny, Kim finally met Jason after 43 long years. Their emotional reunion, captured in a gas station aisle, marked the beginning of a new chapter — one that they are eager to continue exploring as they celebrate their first Mother’s Day together.

The Medium Rare Experience:
Recognizing the transformative power of family reunions, Medium Rare took the initiative to arrange a memorable brunch for Kim, Jason, his wife, and his adoptive mother for their first Mother’s Day all together. Jason’s biological sister Sarah will also be in attendance, where she will meet her brother for the first time.
Medium Rare has a history of touching hearts and changing lives. On Mother’s Day 2021, during COVID, it hosted special reunions, bringing together mothers and their children who had been separated by long distances due to travel restrictions. Families gathered at the Medium Rare in Bethesda, Maryland, to enjoy a meal together after months of separation.
