Liverpool courier Pat Corlett logged into Facebook one day to find a message from a stranger waiting for her.Chris Haworth, 36, wrote "Hi my name is Chris and I was born on 22nd June 1975. You may not want to reply to this ..."
The last time Pat had seen Chris — known then as David — was when he was six days old and she was giving him up for adoption.
"It was like a bomb going off, but a nice bomb," Pat, 54, said of the unexpected contact.
Chris told his birth mother that he enjoyed a happy childhood with his adoptive family, and now works as a coach driver. He kept David as his middle name.
Pat had long wondered what happened to the little boy she gave up when she was just 18, but was hesitant to search for him.
