JASONVILLE, Ind. — Thanksgiving is a day to appreciate all the good things in
our life, and one Indiana woman now has something new to appreciate.

Tammy Owen found her biological family.

"All the time growing up you've always got this pit that you're missing
something, something is missing," said Owen.

Owen said she has always known that she was adopted, according to WTWO/WAWV.

"That was not something that was ever hidden from me, but records were closed
and sealed and all that up until, I wanna say roughly 2019, and then you could
actually apply for your identifying information," she said.

Owen began researching, trying to locate her birth family. She didn't have any
success until her daughter suggested she try Ancestry.com. The painstaking
research took a turn when Owen tried a different name on the website.

"And came across the picture of who would be our Aunt Cindy that looked just
like me in high school. I make jokes of with my short hair that she had long
blonde hair and it was me in a Hannah Montana wig. But I went and woke everybody
up at the house and said, 'I found 'em, I found 'em finally.'"

That picture took Owen to a home Martinsville, Indiana.

"They had the garage door and she's walking out and she says to me, she said,
Theressa, why did you tell them? Why'd you tell him you think I'm your aunt? And
as she gets closer to me, she realizes I'm not Theressa and just, like, stops,"
said Owen.

And after 50 years, Owen finally would meet her brother, Pete Moore.

Moore said he knew he has a sister out there somewhere. He had been processing
that she was found.

"When I got the call, I, you know, I was like, I was happy, but I was also like,
uh, conflicted just because it's like, is this real, um, you know, something
that we'd tried for so long to find out and then just suddenly it's just like in
our lap," he said.

Both Owen and Moore agree they discovered there's no doubt they're related.



"That's probably the thing I find the funniest now is how many little quirks
that he has that I have and mannerisms and all those things," said Owen. "I
think that's the things I find fascinating on a daily basis that you see it or
we'll walk and people will be like, my gosh, you guys even walk the same."



And with the reunion complete, the siblings are now in business together.

"He had a food truck sitting there and I said, 'Well, what are you doing with
that?' And he's like, 'Well, I used to have it and I'd just kind of go out
around on the roads around here and then Dugger and whatnot,' and he's like,
'But I'd really like to get it going.' And I said, 'Then let's do it!'"

It led to a joint venture where the pair serves up meals in both a brick and
mortar restaurant and on that food truck. 

They're making up for lost time.

"Life's short and, uh, today's a gift and tomorrow's not a promise. So even if
we just have five years, it's better than never having that opportunity to know
each other at all," said Moore.

“sale” of personal information to other parties. Certain State Privacy Laws
require that we give you the ability to opt out of the sale or sharing of your
personal information or data in connection with these targeting advertising
activities. Although State Privacy Laws only extend their protections to
residents of their particular states, we respect consumer choice when it comes
to privacy rights. Accordingly, we offer all of our users – regardless of
whether you are a resident of a state that has adopted a State Privacy Law – the
right to opt out of this type of sale or sharing of your personal information.
