<\/p>\nWhen Stacey Faix became pregnant she was only a teenager. Still a child herself at just 15 years old when she gave birth to her son, she decided to place him for adoption.<\/p>\n
After she gave birth, he was taken away, never to be seen again or so she thought.<\/p>\n
In November 2017, a new law was passed in Pennsylvania that allowed adoptees to access their original birth certificate. This was welcome news for Stephen Strawn, an adoptee.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When Strawn learned of the new law he knew he wanted his information. Within a month he had his birth certificate in hand and on it included details that were previously lost.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a big sigh of relief,\u201d he told Inside Edition after he learned his biological mother\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
Strawn searched Facebook for the name, Stacey Faix. He was able to find her or at least someone he thought was her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sent her a message and said, \u2018Hey, I have a really weird question,\u2019\u201d Strawn said. \u201cI said, \u2018Did you put a baby boy up for adoption in 1982?\u2019 She said, \u2018Yes.\u2019 I said, \u2018I think you may be my biological mom.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

It turned out that Faix, who had attempted to find her son but was unsuccessful, and Strawn had a lot things in common, even though they had not seen or spoken to each other in 35 years.<\/p>\n
Although Faix lived in Ohio, she planned on running in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon as a member of Team Red, White and Blue (RWB), an organization which Strawn was also a member of where he lived in Pennsylvania. Strawn was also set to participate in the same race.<\/p>\n
On race day, Strawn devised a plan that was well worth the wait.<\/p>\n
