Two orphans- a little boy and a little girl, who grew up together in a Chinese orphanage shared a tear-jerking reunion shortly after their friendship began.
4-year-old Hannah was adopted by the Sykes family in north Texas, and as they were looking over her adoption materials, they noticed in nearly every picture, Hannah was holding hands and playing with one little boy. Hannah’s new mom, Sharon Sykes, learned this little boy was Hannah’s best friend at the orphanage. The two kids shared the same weekend foster mother and were even known to call each other brother and sister.
The Sykes were determined to find this little boy a loving home, so they posted about him on Facebook to see if anyone was interested in adopting him. A couple from the same area as the Sykes, decided to make the little boy a part of their family and named him Dawson.
“Once we met him and saw the interaction in the orphanage, it was heartbreaking,” Sharon Sykes told HLN on Thursday. “I didn’t sleep that whole night, thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, we have to find him a family.’” Her husband Andy Sykes said, “I couldn’t believe how quick it happened, and Sharon, I give my beautiful wife here a lot of credit because she really spent a lot of time and used social media as an outlet to find the little guy a home.”
The Sykes, and Dawson’s new parents, the Clarys, decided to reunite the two best friends, and they met at Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Dawson’s mom Amy Clary told KTVT, They must have hugged 400 times! They kept hugging and getting so giddy that they would fall over.”
Because of Sharon Sykes act of love, the two children now live just minutes away from one another. They are over the moon every time they see each other, and Dawson’s dad, Chris Clary describes their connection as “priceless.” Besides the kids, the adoptive parents have become friends too. The families have hung out every day since Amy returned from China with Dawson.
“Ever since we’ve met the Clarys, we’re now like best friends,” Sharon Sykes said, “and (Hannah and Dawson) will be seeing each other on a regular basis — at least weekly, if not more.”
