The meeting was set in late May of 2016 in the offices of Lutheran Social Services in Saint Paul, Minnesota. A caseworker was assigned to accompany the parties and supervise the reunion. Both Karen and Dennis were nervous to meet their daughter, especially since they hadn't seen her for 50 years.
Once the three of them finally got together, they knew there was nothing to worry about. The reunion was very emotional and both Karen and Dennis felt as if their life was now complete. They couldn't believe that their family was reunited. This was a new beginning in their lives!
