Man Discovers Birth Mother Is Coworker At Lowes Created: 12/19/2007 1:21:43 PM Last updated: 12/19/2007 2:15:05 PM VIDEO Click here to watch this story. A Michigan man who was adopted as a baby tracked down his birth mother and got the shock of a lifetime when he found out they worked together at a local home improvement store. Steve Flaig had been searching for his birth mother online and had actually come up with a name and an address.Advertisement Steve Faig, a Lowe's Home Improvement employee, says ,"I thought, 'That's really close to the Lowe's where I work and I bet I've seen her in this store,' not realizing to what extent I'd seen her in the store." He was telling a co-worker about a mix-up, that the name was "Tallady," not "Talladay." Steve says, "She said, 'Do you mean like the Christine Tallady who's here, the head cashier up front?'" A manager looked up the home address. It was a match: it was his mother. But Steve didn't know what to say, so he waited. Steve says, "Just seeing her at work and thinking, 'That's my mom and this is very very strange.'" Last week, an adoption agency worker agreed to break the news to Chris, explaining only that a co-worker named "Steve" was the son she'd given up for adoption 22 years ago. But there are several "Steves" that work at the Plainfield Avenue Lowe's. Birth mother Christine Tallady says, "I just knew it was Steve Flaig, it just had to be." Christine asked the manager to check the files. Christine says, "I gave her his birth date and she said, 'He's your son,' and I just, oh my God." For 8 months, the cashier and the delivery guy had worked together, joked around, never suspecting they were mother and son. Christine says, "It was just like, hug me. I haven't seen you in ages, hug me! We sat down and talked. We have so much in common." Now they're easing from co-workers into family members. Christine says, "He's a good person. That's what I was hoping for, that he'd turn out to be a good person. Oh, good genes! That's wonderful." They like what they see in each other, and in their future. Christine says, "I want to meet his Mom and Dad because they did such a good job. He's such a good guy." Steve suddenly has a much bigger family to celebrate Christmas with this year. Christine had two more children, and she herself has seven brothers and sisters. NBC http://www.ksdk.com/news/watercooler/hot_topics_article.aspx?storyid=137094 |

Could not download the montage of mother and son when they appeared on Today Show, but you can access the story via this link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22340497/ That's the kind of news that the media could be replaying/broadcasting, instead of concentrating on stories about Britney and her younger sister. |
