Woman Leaves Newborn on Business Class Plane Seat, Decides to Find Him 13 Years Later — Story of the Day
She was, of course, ashamed of what she’d done in the past, and she feared her son would never accept her. But she decided to take a chance and meet her boy for the first, and possibly, final time. Unfortunately, she was correct in the sense that things would go wrong.
“My mom? You must be kidding me!” Matthew lashed out at her when she met him. “Where have you been all these years? I don’t need you! I am happy with my adoptive parents.”

Rhonda’s eyes welled up when Matthew said that. She had approached the local police for assistance, telling them her entire story, and luckily, one of the helpful officers had assisted her in locating her son.
Initially, she had feared that she would never find Matthew because he could have been adopted by anyone in the world and given a different name. She was lucky enough to begin her search in New York and find him there by the name she had given him.
She contacted Matthew’s adoptive mother, explaining why she had abandoned him and chosen the name Matthew Harris for him. It turned out the boy was adopted by Lincy, the flight attendant, and her husband. She was hesitant to introduce Rhonda to Matthew after how she’d left him, but she eventually agreed to give her a chance to explain herself upon learning her story.
“I’m sorry, Matthew,” Rhonda said. “I know you’re upset, and you don’t want to accept me, but can’t you give me one chance?”
