Discovering a Lost Brother
Kieron Graham always knew he had an elder brother named Vincent. His adoption papers, (sign) when he was three months old, listed a brother named Vincent but no last name. Though Kieron spent years thinking about Vincent, he could never track him down.
That changed in December 2017, when Kieron's adoptive parents gave him an DNA test as a Christmas gift. When his results came back, he was surprised (find) he had a lot of DNA matches for relatives who had also taken the test. Most were distant connections, but one match was so strong that it (label) "close family." His name was Vincent Ghant. Kieron looked for him on Facebook and soon made a possible connection.
When they connected, it was they had known each other their whole lives. As they talked, the brothers realized they lived about 20 minutes from each other. (surprisingly), they attended the same university and majored and minored in the same subjects.
Vincent was nine when Kieron was born and remembers caring for his baby brother. But times were tough, and Shawn, who worked 15-plus hours a day as a nurse, decided that (place) Kieron for adoption would give him the best chance to succeed.
"She was very emotional about that time, to the point it was hard for her to put into words anything about what happened," Vincent says.
Now the brothers had the chance to make up for lost time. They decided to meet at a local tea shop that week. One of Vincent's concerns was that Kieron hate his birth family for placing him for adoption. He was relieved Kieron didn't, and he'd grown up in a loving family. After that first meeting, the brothers played football together and celebrated Christmas with their families. "We'll keep growing our relationship it's time to leave this planet," says Vincent. That shouldn't be hard. As Kieron says, "We've got years and years to catch up on."
