What the recently unified family says began as a tragic story now has a beautiful outcome that came full circle right behind the doors of Hobby Airport.
”It’s overwhelming,” said Houston Firefighter Tyler Graf, who was once a motherless child.”I didn’t know this was ever possible,” said Carol Graf, Tyler’s adoptive mother.
KPRC 2 first brought you Graf’s story last year when he shared that he was born with the name Sergio, but ripped from his family as part of a kidnapping ring in Chile back in the 80s, and placed for adoption in America.”I feel like I’ve been in some ways cheated,” Graf said last year. Now, all the way from Chile, and all the way from Colorado, for the first time Hilda Quezada the mother who birthed him, and Carol Graf Carnish, the mother who raised him, both got to hug their son and each other.”I feel better now, and thank you Carol for raising my son,” Quezada said.Graf’s sister Claudia Antonio grew up with their biological, mother in Chile, she was also there at Hobby Airport for the special moment, overcome with emotion.
Graf says he wants others like him to be able to find the same fulfillment he did, but most importantly, love.”I’m very lucky, and our goal is to help reunite as many families as possible,” Graf said.After spending some much-needed quality time, Graf says he plans to get back to work helping other families reunite.
