AUDIO: Mum tells of being reunited with adopted son through Tubridy show competition

Letters always mean a lot when they come from loved ones, but when they come from a son you lost to adoption over two decades ago they are priceless.

As part of the An Post competition that is running on The Ryan Tubridy Show on 2fm, a woman from Tralee. Co Kerry, entered with a 1997 letter from her son.

The woman, Marian, was 16 when she gave birth to John, but held him for just an hour before he was taken away for adoption.
