A parent is one whom the child never loses his or her bond with. No matter how a father or mother may be, a parent should still be given respect and care.

In a recent case, the most spectacular moment is shared between adopted son, Richard Lorenc and his 62-year-old biological mother, Vivian Wheeler, the bearded lady.
Unlike most children who are abandoned, this boy, Richard Lorenc, did not give up searching for his biological mother.

Richard Lorenc, who suffered from a serious back injury recently was asked a little about his family background, knowning little about his biological parents he started an investigation to find out who they really are.

After a wide search, Richard Lorenc received a letter from the Kansas Department Of Social and Rehabilitation Service saying that they have found his biological mother. On meeting his mother, he realized that they have something in common, which unusually is a 'beard'.

Vivian Wheeler, known as the bearded lady, is well known in Kansas. She is said to have the werewolf syndrome where she has both the male and female body parts. As a child, Vivian Wheeler, the bearded lady, was in a family where her mother too suffered this syndrome also known as hypertrichosis or the werewolf syndrome and her father made money out of her by sending her to the circus to perform and send money back home for the welfare of the family.

The facial image of the bearded lady, Vivian Wheeler is unusual as she has a long beard of 11 inches or 28 cms which holds a Guinness World Record for the longest female beard in history.

When it comes to her son, Richard is proud to say that he has found his mother and now after a long search he will not let go of her no matter what the world thinks.

This wonderful reunion has taken place after many years since Richard Lorenc's father snatched him away from his mother Vivian Wheeler, the sweet bearded lady, in the year 1977.
